What a start to the IAA Convergent Event Series! From Hobart to Melbourne, and with a standout online panel in between, we’ve been celebrating 30 Years of Peers with style. And the celebrations are far from over.
Here’s a quick recap and a taste of what’s still to come.
Make sure you secure your spot for the next events. We’d love to see you there!
Hobart – a night to remember!
Our first stop on the Convergent tour was the beautiful Frogmore Creek Wine Bar in Hobart. We kicked off the 30 Years of Peers anniversary celebrations in partnership with TasICT.

Online Panel – Outsmarting the smart home
We went digital with a lively and insightful panel exploring the security challenges of smart home tech and how ISPs can step up to the task.
Thank you to Matt Tett (Enex TestLab), Cameron Steel (IAA), and Narelle Clark (IAA CEO and moderator) for an insightful discussion.
Catch the replay on the IAA YouTube channel.

Melbourne – small-batch gins and big conversations
Little Lon Distilling Co. played host to a night of handcrafted gin, canapés, and connection. We toasted to three decades of peering excellence in the heart of Melbourne’s laneways.
