About the Technology Safety Summit
WESNET is hosting the 5th Technology Safety Summit, to bring together national and international experts on technology safety and violence against women.
Once again in a face-to-face format, the Tech Summit 2023 will bring together sector and corporate leaders working with or supporting victim-survivors of technology-facilitated abuse in their use of technology, and their journeys in finding ways to harness technology to improve services with a domestic and family violence lens.
This year’s topics will focus on trending issues of technology-facilitated abuse in the context of domestic and family violence, as well as emerging technologies addressing the intersection of technology, privacy and violence against women.
Join us in exploring the ways technology and its uses are still evolving, and what happens when it intersects with intimate partner violence and other forms of gender-based violence.
The 5th Technology Safety Summit was held in Naarm/Melbourne on 16-17 October 2023.
WESNET wishes to thank:
