On behalf of the AHECS partners, AAF, AARNet, AusCERT, CAUDIT, and REANNZ, we are pleased to invite you to the 2023 Australasian Higher Education Cybersecurity Service (AHECS) Cybersecurity Summit.

Following the success of our first face to face summit in 2022, we are delighted to welcome you back to Canberra in 2023.

The AHECS Cybersecurity Summit has a distinctive focus on the cybersecurity needs of the Australian higher education and research sector; this unique forum is a result of the ‘by the sector, for the sector’ AHECS partnership. The AHECS Cybersecurity Summit is an exclusive opportunity for you to connect with cybersecurity peers across the sector. The insights and learnings gained from the presentations, panels, and discussions at the Summit offer immense value to participating organisations.

The AHECS Cybersecurity Summit will be held at the Hotel Realm in Canberra from 31 October - 02 November 2023.
