2006 Industry Cocktail Function

On the 20th of July 2006, 16 Monash staff and 36 of our IT industry partners gathered at the 2006 Industry Cocktail function in The Victoria Club, Rialto, to celebrate the successes achieved through the Faculty’s industry partnerships over the last few years.

The evening kicked off with insightful presentations on the future directions and objectives of the Faculty from Ron Weber and Rowan Crosbie-Goold, followed by an outstanding presentation from lecturer and PhD researcher Tom Chandler, who elaborated on his current research into the digital visualisation of Angkor Wat.

Thank you to Andrea Matthies from Marketing and Development for coordinating this event.
