The Pearcey Conversations invite a panel of eminent guests to discuss issues of national importance related to ICT.
Panelists give thought leadership opinions, insights and experiences to explore topics in depth and give perspectives that may not be part of the normal public discourse.
Topics are wide and varied. Contemporary topics include productivity, the digital economy, public policy and national infrastructure. More general topics include a historical perspective of certain ICT industries and ongoing challenges such as STEM and Women in IT.
