TECHNOLOGY TAKING ACTION IS FEATURING:
- Ziggy Ramo
- Mitch Tambo
- Door prizes from local Indigenous businesses'
- Catering by Bunji Catering
- Light and smoke displays
- Plus an array of engaging stories from mob and leaders in the technology industry.
The technology industry has the ability to not only promote career progression and development – but also use our technology to protect sovereign data, including cultural elements such as languages that may just be in native tongue today.
Join us to enjoy the performances and socialising, and you may discover a new career pathway at the same time.

"Mr Reis won the Sam Tjengala Reuben Award [at Supply Nation Connect 2022], which recognises Indigenous people aged under 35 who demonstrated business acumen, growth and resilience, alongside meeting a critical gap in the Indigenous business sector. Mr Reis said the “if you see someone, you can be someone” mantra had led to scholarships and new pathways for Indigenous people into the information technology industry."
Lets get up, stand up and show up for all mob, welcome mob into an inclusive and warm environment, and showcase what our industry is about – innovation, inclusion and the future.
