The IAASysters program started in 2021 after years of noticing consistent low participation rates of certain sectors in our industry, and we wanted to do something about it!

Whilst participation in the program is open to all, it aims to encourage and support ALL women working in the Internet industry. We achieve this by offering ten sponsored attendees the opportunity to participate in the IAASysters Workshop – a one-day workshop that provides expert career advice and helps build important soft skills that support career advancement. Systers will also attend the two-day AusNOG Conference where they will receive in-depth technical training and networking opportunities.
