Introducing the inaugural Tech Governance Forum

In today’s business landscape, it’s become critical that every director—regardless of industry or sector—stays up to date in this ever-evolving area of governance.  

Ensuring you keep pace with the speed of change, the AICD is proud to present the first national forum dedicated to tech-related risk, governance and compliance.  

In one information-packed day, tech and innovation experts share their specialist knowledge on the current and emerging trends, rules and regulations every director needs to know to lead with confidence in this area.

AICD members and non-members welcome.

On the agenda

In an era of rapid technological change, directors and leaders must remain proactive to be able to drive their organisations forward. And that starts with a deep understanding of the tech governance landscape.

THE BOARD’S RESPONSE TO A TECH CRISIS

Discover best practices for boards to prepare, safeguard and protect their organisations before, during and after a tech crisis—because the potential for a cyber-attack is a ‘when’, not ‘if’ scenario.

Learn how Data and AI differ from other types of technologies and may therefore require a different governance approach when it comes to mitigating risks and seizing opportunities.

The role of the board in digital transformation

Delve into the role boards play in overseeing mission-critical projects like an organisation’s digital transformation, as well as the role of boards in fostering innovation in general.

Small organisations and tech: maximising resources

Explore the unique opportunities, risks and challenges faced by small and medium organisations navigating tech governance—and which practical steps can be taken to quickly adapt.
