Are you curious about the "beyond binary" future but unsure where to start? While the shift from traditional bits to quantum qubits represents a major technological leap, it is a journey we are embarking on together as a profession. This session introduces a supportive seven-pillar framework designed to help recordkeepers move from our current binary world of 1 and 0s into the quantum era of qubits.
As highlighted in the State of Australian Quantum report issued November 2024, "73% of Australians have never heard of quantum technology, let alone the benefits it may give . We do not expect to have all the answers - in fact, we are all learning together. By leveraging our profession’s over 57 years of experience, we will focus on workforce reskilling and literacy to ensure you are ready for the exciting opportunities ahead. Join us to turn the unknown into a shared opportunity for growth and job sustainability.
