“I attend this event because it is geared toward IT professionals located in Western Australia….it is a great excuse to spend a couple of days away from the pressures of work catching up with colleagues in the industry to swap stories and seek advice.”

“This was a very enjoyable event, to connect with peers and colleagues and understand how they have handled the last 18 months, plus how they plan to handle the ‘new normal’ was very valuable.”

“It is a very well organised event at a great venue. Hats off to the organisers.”

“I get to trade events from time to time (COVID aside) but this was the first industry-focused event where I could hear from peers in the industry. There is a great balance of peers and vendors, ideas and reassurance that we face the same issues across the industry. Well worth the time.”

“The WA It Leadership Summit is a great event getting like-minded professionals together to discuss challenges relevant to WA in the IT industry. Could not recommend this event enough to colleagues - the team running the event do such a great job and are to be highly commended."
