Join us for an exclusive, invite-only luncheon with a select group of 12 financial services leaders in Australia.
For financial institutions across Australia and New Zealand, cloud adoption is no longer optional — it’s mission-critical.

Despite 94% of executives ranking resilience as crucial, 60% of businesses have still faced downtime in the last two years. Whether it’s ensuring 24/7 availability of critical services, compliance with APRAs operational resilience requirements, or protection of sensitive financial data and customer information; resiliency cannot be overlooked.

Join this invitation-only luncheon hosted by Frost & Sullivan and AWS, where financial services leaders will explore:

Exclusive access to findings from Frost & Sullivan’s 2025 research on cloud resilience in ANZ

Why resilience should be at the heart of cloud strategy

How leading cloud providers design infrastructure to maximise uptime and availability

Practical strategies to mitigate downtime risk and increase availability

At this invitation-only luncheon, hear from industry leaders such as Kenny Yeo, Director, Frost & Sullivan; Jamie Simon, Director of Financial Services, AWS; and Dave Coombes, Director of Solution Architect Financial Services, AWS. You’ll gain insights into cloud resilience strategies, exchange best practices with fellow industry leaders and expand your executive network in an exclusive, private setting.
