I thoroughly enjoyed Cybercon in Melbourne last year (the national 3-day event), and the equivalent state-based 1-day event in Adelaide. It is run by AISA, has a massive village of vendors and a vast selection of sessions to attend. As a compliance/governance non-technical lead in the security space, and now launching a brand new AI & Automations team within my org, I get a lot out of these types of events.

I am a big fan of QCon conference and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a software engineering conference with vendor neutrality.

I attended Gartner IAM Summit 2024. It was great. I would like to attend it again.

We are working on PDF data extraction doing a POC with a few LLMs like Claude, Co-pilot, Power automate, Textract etc. While, machine printed pdfs are fairly trivial and accurate from LLMs extraction, we are running into a challenge with hand written PDFs, as the image clarity is often very poor. Despite trying to OCR it and then parsing, it is not working well. I am trying to figure out, if anyone has a better suggestion or solution for this need?
