Testimonials from past attendees

Track C events are always edgy and create a space for meaningful conversations

Your forums are the only one I have come across that genuinely lean into the discomfort of the big questions, everything else feels overly sanitised

Since leaving academia I’ve missed being immersed in conversations that leave my brain bursting with inspiration.

I love the forums Pirooz organises because he beautifully weaves ideas from a range of perspectives and disciplines.

About the forum

⚖️ AI DECODED: GOVERNANCE, EQUITY & ETHICS
Executive Briefing & Professional Development Forum
Presented by Track C Consulting
 
As enterprises, legal practices, and municipal councils rapidly integrate automated platforms, leadership teams face a critical challenge: ensuring these systems do not quietly entrench systemic bias or erode institutional trust. This thoughtfully curated, six-hour forum moves past sterile corporate slogans to deliver a practical, multi-disciplinary blueprint to help executive cohorts, policy leads, and practice groups safely de-risk their technology strategies.
 

Where: Geelong Library & Heritage Centre
When: 17th July 2026

FAQs

Objectives:

• Decode AI’s real-world impact

• Challenge bias and champion equity

• Shape a responsible, human-centred AI future

Who should attend

  • You’re leading an organisation navigating AI adoption and you’re not sure if you’re getting it right

  • You work in health, education or government and AI is already changing the decisions that affect the people you serve
  • You advise on diversity, equity and inclusion and you know AI bias is the next frontier you need to understand
  • You’re a First Nations policy officer or advocate who needs to be in the room where these conversations happen
  • You’re a researcher, academic or student working at the intersection of technology and social justice
  • You work in people and culture, organisational development or gender equity and AI governance is landing on your desk whether you’re ready or not
  • You’re a youth worker, artist, media professional or communicator who believes AI’s future should be shaped by more than just the tech industry

  • You lead or advise a not-for-profit and you need practical frameworks, not just theory

 

Why this matters

AI is increasingly being adopted by organisations and businesses. When developed and used ethically, it offers powerful opportunities for innovation and positive change.

However, important questions remain:

  • How do we address bias in AI systems?

  • Who holds power in shaping AI technologies?

  • How do we ensure AI is equitable, responsible and just?

  • What role do humans play in guiding its future?

Join us for critical conversations about shaping AI in ways that benefit everyone.
