ISACA CANBERRA PRESENTS
40 Years of Trust: Evolving Governance, Security & Assurance in a Digital World
7 November 2025
QT HOTEL, CANBERRA
For four decades, the ISACA Canberra Chapter has been at the forefront of IT governance, security, risk and assurance.
From its foundations in EDP auditing and control systems in the 1980s to today's challenges in AI security, digital trust, and emerging technology governance, the need for strong frameworks and leadership has never been greater.
This year’s 40th Anniversary Conference celebrates this legacy of trust while looking ahead to the future.
We are pleased to welcome LTGEN Michelle McGuinness, the Australian Cyber Coordinator from Home Affairs to open the event with insights into Australian National Security and how governance, risk and cyber frameworks continue to shape strategic decision-making in large-scale digital service delivery.
Through three dedicated streams—Leadership, Strategy & Culture, Security, Technology & Data, and Governance, Risk & Assurance—we will explore how organisations can navigate AI risks, cybersecurity threats, regulatory changes, and digital transformation while maintaining trust.
Join us for insightful keynotes, expert panels, and hands-on sessions, where industry leaders, policymakers, and professionals will share strategies and innovations shaping the future.
Whether you’re a CISO, auditor, risk professional, or technology leader, this event will provide valuable insights, networking opportunities, and a platform to drive meaningful change in your organisation.
Sponsorship and speaking opportunities are available.
Secure your place at Canberra’s premier governance, risk, and security event of 2025.
