Her prior roles include positions at Inmarsat, Auto One, Yates and Westfield. She will speak on behalf of the government’s Department of Industry, Innovation and Science.

Clare’s previous experience includes working Minister for Defence Materiel, Minister for Home Affairs and Minister for Justice. He has also held an executive role at Transurban.
Adrian Turner will attend and speak as a representative of Data61, the new data innovation group created when National ICT Australia was absorbed by the CSIRO.
