<h3>Trust, Verified</h3>Hosted by Westpac Trust is the currency of the digital economy, and right now it is under real pressure. We're being asked to trust AI-generated content that we cannot always verify, navigate cyber threats that grow more sophisticated every month, and hold onto trust with employers during a wave of redundancies that has hit women in digital and technology roles hard.Trust, Verified brings together expert voices from cyber security, AI, workplace culture and governance to give our community practical, human answers to a question everyone is asking: what can I actually trust right now, and what do I do about it?

Building trust online with peers and friendsTrust between people online, in group chats, community spaces and social platforms, is quietly being tested. This theme looks at how we can build and protect genuine trust with the people we choose to connect with, even as scams, impersonation and misinformation make that harder.2. Content interrogation: what you can and can't trust onlineNot everything that looks credible is credible. This theme will provide a practical framework for interrogating content, from news and research to social posts and forwarded messages, before they believe or share it.3. Cyber threatsCyber crime is increasingly personal, targeting individuals through phishing, impersonation and social engineering as much as it targets organisations. This theme keeps the conversation grounded in what we can actually do, at home and at work.4. AI content validation: building healthy scepticismAI generated content is now part of daily life, from images and video to writing and code. This theme is about building a healthy, sustainable scepticism, one that keeps people curious and capable rather than anxious or checked out.5. Trust with your employer in this climate of redundanciesRedundancies have shaken trust between employees and employers across digital and technology roles, and women have been disproportionately affected. This theme speaks directly to that experience, and what rebuilding trust at work can look like from both sides.6. The governance you need to put in placeTrust is not just a feeling, it is something you can build structure around. This theme moves from the personal to the practical, covering the governance individuals and organisations can put in place to protect trust before it is tested. <h3>What Attendees Will Walk Away With</h3><ul><li>A clearer understanding on how to evaluate AI-generated content and cyber risk in your day to day work</li><li>Practical strategies for building and protecting trust with employers, teams and clients</li><li>Real discussion from people who work in these spaces</li><li>New connections with people navigating the same questions</li></ul> Event details:Location: Westpac, Level 28, Tower 2, International Tower Sydney, 200 Barangaroo Avenue, Sydney NSW 2000Date: Tuesday 29 September, 5.30pm to 7.30pmInclusions: Networking &amp; panel and light refreshmentsGeneral Admission: $30 + Fees &amp; GST (non-members)WID Members: Free (members-only)** This discount is available to all Women in Digital Members who have an active membership with Women in Digital.
