About AWISE

AWISE (Albury-Wodonga Innovation Summit & EXPO) is an annual event hosted from Wodonga in North East Victoria to explore, celebrate, and learn about
advancements in Innovation locally, nationally, and globally. In previous years we have run a full day event bringing together industry, business, and education institutions; however, due to the present lock downs and social distancing, we are planning to run the program over a series of webinars and workshops with a hybrid delivery model allowing where practical for face to face attendance but encouraging online attendance.

In 2020, through the series of webinars and workshops we plan to explore Innovation:

  • What should you be thinking about? (Strategic Innovation),
  • How could you be changing? (Technical Innovation), and
  • How would you actually do it? (Operational Innovation)

We’ll be running one session each week from mid-October through to mid-December. The program will include the following:

  • Connecting with your future customers
  • Why digital matters more than ever for business
  • Microlearning and the Modern Workplace
  • Emerging Uses of AI in Business
  • Cyber Security for Business
  • The future of Robots in the Workplace
  • Introduction to 5G Technology for Business
  • Emerging opportunities in IoT
  • Running a Business in the Cloud
  • Leveraging Automation in your Business
