Future ARI NSW events
With the current unpredictable COVID-19 environment the way ARI NSW has delivered conferences and events in the past will change. 

It advises “the Board is committed to organising events that will allow our corporate partners to showcase their products and network, as well for members to be given the opportunity to network and learn new skills.”

ARI NSW will be launching a series of events over the next few months with more information to be released shortly.
