Have you heard about NetThing? We are excited to announce that we will be facilitating a round table focusing on Internet as an Essential Service and how this classification would affect the rules and regulation for broadband Internet services.  

We plan to explore what classifying the Internet as an essential service would entail and its broader implications for digital inclusion, minimum service level requirements and digital infrastructure investment. We will moderate a discussion incorporating the perspectives of consumers, civil society, regulators and the various players right across the internet industry.  

Our participants include representatives of the ACCC, Communications Alliance, Legal Aid NSW, Infrastructure Australia, Arnotts as well as consumers and service providers from right across the spectrum. 

This event should be both insightful and incredibly useful if the rules for service change!   

Register now if you would like to attend our round table or any other events NetThing has to offer.

A great event showcasing both our association and the Australian Institute of Office Professionals (AIOP). Beginning with a guided tour through the Pan Pacific hotel, as well as coffee and high tea, attendees were treated to an hour of presentations from the incredible speakers. 

Kitty Hibble presented our association and engaged us all with our story. Outlining where we came from to where we are now, while sharing significant milestones in our history and teaching attendees on what an IXP is and what it does for Australia’s Internet. We could not be prouder of her! 

Christine Stewart, recent National President of the Australian Institute of Office Professionals, shared their journey focusing on the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on their core business, and their multifaceted response. 

This event was insightful, interesting and informative and we look forward to Associations Forum’s next fantastic event! 

The SHE-E-O event was many things, but most of all, it was inspiring, insightful and empowering. The three incredible women who shared their stories touched on so many areas of relevance to women in the workplace today.  

All from humble beginnings in their careersthe common themes in their stories were having immense grunt and grit, self-belief and being comfortable with breaking with tradition – particularly when you are the only woman in the room.  

From mentions of passion, drive and resilience to burnout, the speakers openly talked about the realities of their journey – the highs, the lows and the lifechanging moments.   

Some of the key takeaways from each speaker werebe passionate about the industry you choose to work in and learn the business side of it, women often offer a magical combination of softness and kindness to the workplace, life is a series of lucky breaks, remembering when to switch off and learning to make compromises!  

We are proud to be sponsors of this event and look forward to the next inspiring event from WitWA 

Another fantastic event done and dusted in 2021. During this joint event with the Australian Computer Society (ACS), our very own, Narelle Clark, took us on a journey through all things Internet, guided by the theme ‘how it started and how it’s going.’ Beginning with a brief introduction of IAA, we heard about technology, architecture, service, regulatory and social issues, finishing off with some of the important lessons learnt from 2020.  This event is one not to be missed!

If you weren’t able to attend, don’t worry, we have you covered! You can catch the recorded live stream on our Facebook page or Youtube channel.
