It's with great pleasure and excitement that I invite you to
participate in the 6th annual International Young ICT Professionals
Conference. To be held on the 3rd and 4th of September, 2009 at the
Dockside Convention Centre, Darling Harbour.
This year's theme is Lead, Transform, and Succeed. The conference will
combine a trade show and draw Australia's top ICT Professionals and
Graduates in addition to international guests.
Key note speakers include Fiona Balfour - former CIO of Qantas and
Telstra and Graeme Wood - Founder of Wotif among many other exciting
speakers.
The program will provide young professionals, recent graduates and
university students around the world with the techniques, skills and
confidence to advance their career in Information Communications
Technology (ICT).
Don't miss this invaluable opportunity to gain insights into the ICT
industry; learn about emerging technologies; develop your skills in
management, leadership, time management and more; find out what's
involved in working overseas or starting your own business; and be
inspired by a first-class selection of speakers. There's also time to
network with fellow participants, speakers, sponsors, CIOs and
potential future employers

Amen Richard! I graduated nearly 10 years ago now and not once in that
time have I felt compelled to join the ACS. Those who I do know from
the local rank and file are either academics or state govt IT
bureaucrats.
Of course the best way to effect any sort of change on this kind of
organization is to either join and lead a movement for that change
from within, or to set up a valid competitor for the existing
membership dollar.
Neither of these is a small undertaking which is why I guess like many
others I have a tendency to just pretend they don't exist.
I would consider groups like the ACM or IEEE as more representative of
my own professional interests, it's just a pity they don't have a
presence here for political purposes while the ACS has the ear of govt
on ICT in Aus.
Cheers,
Warren
