In this webinar, Brighid Virtue will cover:

How CCTV intersects with operational risk, cargo security, incident investigations, and workplace safety
Legal and regulatory obligations, including Australian Privacy Act, APPs, employee privacy rules, signage and notice requirements
Data governance challenges, such as retention, access controls, secure storage, third-party sharing with transport partners or law enforcement
Practical compliance frameworks to overcome those challenges, tailored for supply chain and logistics businesses

Three respected leaders will each represent supply chain, manufacturing and innovation. The goal is to discuss each speaker's real world application of AI in these sectors and recognise practical channels for collaboration.

Anton Pirie - Director, TruFlow Spray Booths Australia

In the past 25 years, Anton has built TruFlow Spray Booths Australia into a respected Australian manufacturing business employing more than 100 staff. Operating from Keysborough with additional facilities across Sydney, Brisbane and New Zealand, Anton has grown the business by refusing to accept the limitations that others often see as “normal”. Through innovation, persistence and measured decision-making, he has expanded internationally and positioned TruFlow as a company that customers actively seek out.
A strong believer in Australian sovereignty and local capability, Anton represents the type of manufacturer prepared to push through challenges rather than be defined by them. His leadership philosophy is grounded in purpose, long-term thinking and character. Hearing Anton speak, you quickly realise his clarity of purpose matters more than profit.

John James (JJ) - Principal Solution Consultant, Oracle NetSuite
Topic: AI That Delivers Real Business Value
John partners with sales teams to help businesses across manufacturing, wholesale distribution, and retail/apparel evaluate and adopt NetSuite. With 17+ years in ERP, he's known for value-led demonstrations and solutioning. He holds a Master of Information Systems from Swinburne University.

Representing a company that has continued to invest in Australian manufacturing for more than a century, Roy brings real-world insight into how advanced manufacturing, AI and collaboration are strengthening sovereign capability. His experience demonstrates how Australian manufacturers can compete globally by embracing innovation, building capability and investing for the long term rather than competing on cost alone.

Presentations will followed by a panel discussion.
