VIC Council
The AIIA in Victoria provides a strong voice of influence, a sense of community through events and enables a network for collaboration and business opportunities as well as helping Victorian-based member companies to achieve business success and growth. The AIIA has a very strong presence in Victoria through its membership which represents the depth and breadth of the diverse ICT community. Our members play a significant part in the development of the Victorian economy.
AIIA’s interests and activities in Victoria are coordinated by our Victorian Council, an elected group of representatives from AIIA member companies who work on a voluntary basis to promote the association and the digital technology industry.
