Do you have a cyber security story, project, lesson, or insight from which the wider NZ security community could benefit? Now's your chance to share it.
The New Zealand Internet Task Force (NZITF) is calling for speaker submissions for their Annual Conference at Te Papa in Wellington on 21β22 July 2025. Whether you're a seasoned presenter or a first-timer, this is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to New Zealand's cyber resilience.
One of our ISACA Wellington members, John Dunphy, shared this request with us and asked us to help spread the word across our network.
This is also an excellent opportunity for ISACA Wellington Chapter members to share their knowledge and experience with a wider national audience β whether your expertise lies in audit, risk, compliance, governance, security, or privacy.
