Are we really at the halfway mark already?

This year is hurtling along and despite changed market conditions APSCo is busier than ever. Our recent conference: Emerge 2023 was attended by over 150 professionals and once again was a resounding success.

We packed a lot into the day, tackling legal and compliance, cyber security, M&A, tech and AI, marketing and the Future of Work Once again, I would like to thank the sponsors, speakers, and the APSCo secretariat for their contribution to a very informative day.

No sooner are we packing up our Conference banners, we turn our attention to the 2023 Awards for Excellence This year we’ll be at The Grounds of Alexandria on October 26th We’ve revised our categories, added to our independent judging panel and look forward to seeing the best of our profession showcase their businesses.

Events aside its BAU as we continue to liaise with Government officials and monitor the swathe of legislative change on its way. To date we have held meetings with DEWR, The Department of Home Affairs, Tony Burke’s Office as well Senator Cash, Senator Lambie, David Pocock and Matt O’Sullivan’s office

Our webinars and member meetings will return in the coming weeks as will our regional meetings and networks We’ve also welcomed a newly elected Board and I personally look forward to continuing to shape the future of APSCo alongside our nominated Directors

Our focus is to continue to grow our Membership, deepen our value proposition and stay close to our Members to ensure we are relevant and responsive while we all navigate an unusually unpredictable environment.
