Roger reflects on the unique Australian insight ADAPT delivers compared to global analyst firms.
2 MIN Roger Lawrence Former Head of Technology Enablement and Acceleration APA Group

“There are two main reasons I attend.

First, the networking — being able to talk not just with industry specialists at ADAPT, but with the top tech talent in Australia.

Coming from a vendor background (Microsoft, HP), it’s refreshing to speak with CIOs who are focused on applying tech for real business impact.

Second, the insights. I’ve worked with analyst firms globally, but I haven’t seen one with such deep and locally relevant knowledge of the Australian market as ADAPT.

Global firms often generalise with Silicon Valley–centric data that doesn’t apply here.

ADAPT delivers edge events that feel truly connected to Australia’s reality. I haven’t been to the AI or security events yet, but they’re next on my list.”

 " I haven’t come across an organisation with such deep and broad insight into the Australian market.""
