You’ll gain practical tips from insurance and business experts, hear real-world examples, and walk away with clear actions to strengthen your contracts and compliance—all aimed at reducing your business’s exposure to liability.

Whether you’re sourcing locally or globally, this session will give you a clear understanding of your obligations under Australian law. You’ll be empowered to make smarter, safer decisions that protect your business from supply chain risks.

Come along, ask questions, and leave feeling confident about managing your part of the chain.

Manufacturing teams rely on technology every day, even if IT is not your main job. This session keeps things practical, plain English, and focused on keeping production moving.

Cyber incidents in manufacturing often start with something boring like an email, a login, or remote access set up in a rush. When things go wrong, downtime hits fast and costs add up. This session explains what is going on, why manufacturing is a target, and what steps make a real difference on the shop floor and in the office.

You will walk away with clear priorities, not a long wish list. No jargon. No scare tactics. Just sensible advice you can use.

What you will learn:

Manufacturing owners, ops and plant managers, finance and admin leads, and anyone who has become the default IT person.

Grab a drink, bring your questions, and leave with a clearer view of what matters and where to focus next.
