AWISE - Innovation Summit & EXPO
The AWISE Innovation Summit & EXPO is run annually in North East Victoria to explore, celebrate, and learn about advancements in Innovation locally, nationally, and globally. This year we looked at how these advancements are impacting society and how we can embrace them for an optimistic and positive future.
In 2020 - due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Victorian State of Emergency/Disaster - we are changing things up and instead of delivering an action packed day of activities we're planning to deliver a series of webinars and workshops online throughout September and October
2019 Innovation Summit
In 2019 the Innovation Summit & EXPO was rebranded to AWISE (or The Albury-Wodonga Innovation Summit & EXPO). The AWISE event was held at The Cube in Wodonga on Wednesday 4th September 2019.
Thanks to all the partners, sponsors, speakers, exhibitors, and of course attendees that made the 2019 event possible and a special thanks to Victor Perton (The Optimism Man) for providing his uplifting master of ceremonies services and asking us all….what makes you optimistic?
