Fireside chat with NBNCo & the AIIA

Join us for this important conversation between the CEO of the AIIA, Ron Gauci and the CEO of NBNCo Stephen Rue.

During the COVID pandemic, the whole of Australia learnt a great deal about the importance of technology infrastructure in enabling the continuation of all essential services, communications, and basically getting on with life. The NBN has played a significant role in the promotion of the digital agenda to provide improved services, efficiencies and the sharing of online experiences.

We encourage you to join us for this important conversation between the CEO of the AIIA, Ron Gauci and the CEO of NBNCo Stephen Rue as they discuss key questions about where the roll out is at and what happen as when we are all connected. Stephen will provide insights into the organisation’s key priorities; investments and a view of which industries are most benefitting from the technology. The conversation will also discuss how we fare compared to other countries and what does the 5G landscape mean as well.
