Innovation Bytes: Looking Back to Look Forward – A Career’s Worth of Tech

Innovation Bytes: 

Small units of information for getting more innovation into your business, with coffee and connections.

With over three decades in technology, from the early days of computer networking to today’s era of AI and hyper-connectivity, Richard Dodsworth has had a front-row seat to some of the most transformative shifts in our industry.

As ICA’s resident technology lead, a former senior leader at Cisco, and now Australian lead for the NIIN Industry Alumni, Richard brings a rare blend of insider insight, strategic perspective, and lived experience.

In this interactive session, Richard will share stories and reflections on:

• How technology has evolved — and the forces that drove those changes

• Why certain shifts mattered more than others

• The journey from isolated systems to a connected, data-driven world

• The promises and the warnings in our AI-powered future

If you ever had a question you wanted to ask on tech - here's your chance! The session will feature an open Q&A, with curiosity and enquiry encouraged.

Join us to look back, see now, and dream forward in tech.

Your host is Dr Kathryn Anderson, Program Director, Innovation Central Adelaide

Join us at Flinders Festival Towers, from close by in the Tonsley Innovation District... or from further afield!
