Postponement of #ACCELERATERegTech 2020 

To all our supporters and members

I write to inform you that, in consultation with the critical mass of sponsors and stakeholders, this morning the RegTech board took the decision to postpone our annual #ACCELERATERegTech conference and expo, and all associated events, scheduled from 16 to 17 March.

We will share with you our plans as soon as we’ve had the chance to assess the various options and factor in the limitations the ongoing COVID-19 emergency will place on us.

While #ACCELERATERegTech is still in its infancy, we firmly believe that itis evolving into the key networking and learning event for our sector. We are committed to re-framing the event and looking for suitable alternate dates and formats in the future. 

In the interim, if you’ve got any queries please contact us on members@regtech.org.au.

My sincere apologies for any inconvenience this postponement may cause you. 

Stay well and I look forward to speaking to you soon.

Deborah Young
CEO
The RegTech Association
