SecTech’s Monique Keatinge said event organisers had made the decision to postpone the 5-city roadshow until May 2022.
“In the absence of certainty around state lockdowns, which may be applied at any time for indefinite periods, as well as in recognition of the need to keep the industry safe, organisers have decided postponing the event until after every Australian is vaccinated against COVID-19 is the only option that gives us all certainty and safety,” she said.
According to Keatinge, dates are currently being locked in with venue partners in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, and all 2021 deposits will be rolled over to 2022.
“We were extremely keen to go ahead with SecTech in 2021 – there’s a huge appetite in the market for face time – but given Australia’s cautious vaccination timetable, as well as the disconnected nature of our national health system compared to places like NZ, Israel and the UK, now is not the moment,” Keatinge said.
“We will spend the next 15 months planning a SecTech Roadshow like no other and it goes without saying we can’t wait to catch up with our friends around Australia in May 2022.”
