International Women's Day Afternoon Tea

Join us for our March International Women's Day afternoon tea.

ASIS Victoria welcomes you to join us for an insightful and fun afternoon tea as we celebrate women in security. The past few years has shown us that, in order to provide maximum protection and value to our organisations, security professionals must embrace physical/cyber convergence, business resilience and continuity, and also develop clear career paths to retain talented professionals. Our panel of experts will unpack all of these topics, sharing their experience as a female security professional and what we can do to attract even more women to our industry.

This is a unique opportunity for both ASIS members and non-members to meet and network with security professionals, learn about the latest trends and developments in the industry, and get advice and insights from experienced security experts. With the growing importance of security in today's world, this event is a perfect platform for anyone looking to stay ahead of the curve and stay informed about the latest developments in the field.

Don't miss out on this exciting opportunity to connect with security professionals, expand your network, and learn from industry leaders. Register today and join us at Batman's Hill on Collins for what promises to be a memorable and informative event. We look forward to seeing you there!
