ASCCA. A non-profit organisation and register charity that turns 25 next year, the Australian Seniors Computer Clubs Association is Australia's peak body for Seniors and Technology, representing a wealth of computer and technology clubs and their members across Australia.

Being held smack-bang in the middle of Scams Awareness Week, 8-12 November, ASCCA's 23rd Technology Conference for Seniors is being held via Zoom for the second year running, this year on Wednesday, 10 November.

ASCCA has organised a fantastic lineup of speakers to share useful, actionable information that you can use to noticeably improve your life and the way you use tecnologies, enhance and augment your cyber security, learn about the future of health care at home, learn how ACCAN's completely free Accessible Telecoms service helps seniors and people living with disability choose the right technologies to best suit their needs, how Google is developing with Governance AI, how NBN Co sees the future, learn how to leave a digital legacy and much, much more.

The conference is being officially opened by much-loved entertainer, Kamahl, who in his 8th decade is a bona-fide senior. He will be interviewed by the event's Co-MC, Alex Zaharov-Reutt, with a range of questions about Kamahl's thoughts on technology, what's good and not so good with today's tech, how it can be improved for the better, and more!
