Panels dedicated to discussing the technologies that have
changed how we work and live – and what the future may bring – as
well as exploring the changes to the professions that ISACA has
served for the last five decades, are among the ways ISACA is
celebrating its 50th anniversary year at the Africa CACS 2019
conference. The annual event for information systems audit,
assurance, control, governance and security professionals will take
place 19-20 August 2019 at the Sandton Convention Centre in
Johannesburg, South Africa.
The opening session will feature a special interactive
presentation featuring video and images from the last 50 years of
the information technology field, as well as look to the future and
how it will be impacted by continually transforming technologies.
The opening session will also include a panel titled, “From
Disruptive to Daily Dependence: ISACA Pros Look Back and Look
Forward to the Future in Technology.” The panelists will represent
diverse experiences in leading enterprises, discussing how to make
strategic business decisions while adopting emerging
technologies.
Stafford Masie, former CEO of Google Africa and Non-Executive
Board Member at ADvTECH, will share insights from his career in the
field and discuss the future of technology in the Africa CACS 2019
closing keynote presentation. Masie, who is particularly interested
in technology's impact on societies and different cultures, will be
sharing his business insights and assessing current trends.
Africa CACS 2019 is produced by ISACA in partnership with the
