Anastasia Jasinski – Senior Project Manager, SA Health
Through engaging tradeshow experiences and targeted breakout sessions, you’ll connect directly with the innovators and vendors to explore solutions across the full technology stack, and uncover strategies to accelerate both business and technology outcomes.
Technology delivers its greatest impact when everything works together. From AI and automation to cloud, cyber and data, every advancement builds momentum across your business. The challenge for today’s technology leaders is not just adopting new advancements, but harnessing the full potential of their current IT environments while evolving them to meet tomorrow’s demands.
To turn momentum into measurable outcomes, the entire ecosystem must move together, with data, platforms, security and people each adapting in sync with every new technology advancement. This is The Tech Effect: a layered, interconnected force that, when orchestrated well, becomes a competitive advantage.
What is The Tech Effect? A connected approach where:

Every organisation has made AI a priority. The next question becomes: have you made your data one too, and do you know where AI will deliver the most value?
AI is the most exciting opportunity Australian businesses have seen in a generation, but the organisations that succeed won’t simply be those with the flashiest AI tools. They’ll be the ones that have done the unglamorous plumbing work of getting their data unified, trusted and secure, then used that foundation to identify and prioritise high-value AI agent use cases.
In this session, Alenka Caserman and Genevieve Wood share what separates AI leaders from those that will trail behind, and a practical path from AI readiness to real impact. Drawing on Australian customer examples and Microsoft technologies including Fabric and Copilot Studio, they’ll explore how to strengthen your data foundations, focus effort where AI agents will deliver the most value, and embed governed AI into everyday work at scale.
AI is accelerating vulnerability discovery, and the time to patch a newly discovered CVE is now an unattainable 8 to 9 hours.
As organisations spin up autonomous AI agents to speed up operations, our attack surface is evolving rapidly. Yesterday’s insecure Python scripts have become today’s insecure, autonomous IT agents. We can no longer simply patch our way out of this.
To secure the Agentic AI era, we must return to the foundational principles of least privilege. In this session, we break down how to apply Zero Trust at every layer of your environment.
From the user and application layers down to prompt-level guardrails and kernel-level nanosegmentation, achieving a true Zero Trust Architecture is no longer just a best practice, it is an absolute operational imperative.
Modern IT faces increasing complexity from hybrid and multi-cloud strategies, challenging traditional management, security, and compliance. Manual workflows and legacy tools struggle to deliver agility and resilience needed for dynamic workloads, especially as data privacy, sovereignty, and security concerns grow. Sovereign Cloud offers a solution by providing a trusted, compliant environment. The HPE CloudOps Software suite delivers a unified, AI-driven cloud management platform that simplifies provisioning, operations, and workload protection with real-time visibility and automation. Coupled with the HPE Private Cloud Sovereign platform, operated by Data#3 for Australian customers, it ensures secure, compliant, and optimised workloads. This session explores both solutions, highlighting how they address modern cloud challenges through integrated, resilient, and secure cloud operations.
In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, organisations must adapt to stay ahead of the curve. This breakout session is designed for IT buyers and decision-makers who are actively seeking cutting-edge solutions and services to drive their digital transformation. Join us as we explore the latest advancements in Adobe’s Acrobat and Creative Cloud technologies with AI-driven tools that are reshaping the way businesses operate.
Discover how to leverage innovative Adobe technologies to enhance operational efficiency, improve collaboration, and deliver exceptional business and customer experiences. Whether you’re looking to optimise your current systems, future-proof your IT strategy, or unlock new opportunities for growth, this session will provide actionable strategies and solutions powered by Adobe.
Infrastructure modernisation is no longer just an IT conversation. Business leaders across every function are being asked to identify opportunities, improve productivity, and future-proof their organisations.
As organisations navigate licensing changes, rising infrastructure costs, increasing demand for compute and memory, and the rapid adoption of AI, technology leaders face growing pressure to balance innovation with financial sustainability.
In this session, we explore the new infrastructure economics shaping organisations today, including cost optimisation, platform strategy, AI readiness, and the emerging risk of AI token sprawl (Tokenomics).
Through real-world customer conversations and practical examples, discover how an outcome-led approach focused on business objectives, validation, and measurable value helps organisations make informed technology decisions and build flexible platforms that support future growth.
Whether your focus is infrastructure modernisation, strategy, AI adoption, or long-term platform planning, you’ll leave with practical guidance to better align technology investments with business outcomes.
AI promises to revolutionise business, but only if your data is ready, secure, and compliant. Join us as we explore essential strategies for preparing your data for safe AI adoption.

This session will showcase practical use cases, proven methodologies, and actionable steps to ensure your data foundation is robust, secure, and AI-ready. Perfect for IT leaders and data protection specialists looking to enable trusted AI transformation for their customers.
This session explores how organisations are rethinking workload placement through a hybrid-by-design lens, balancing sovereignty, security, latency, cost and cloud economics while also factoring in AI workload demands and rising VMware licensing pressures. Using a practical decision framework, it examines when to modernise to containers and managed services versus alternative virtualisation platforms, and includes a live demo of Azure Local connected to Azure Public Cloud via Azure Arc to show what “right workload, right location” looks like in practice.
