AI - Jobs Creator or Destroyer? 🤖

What does AI actually mean for the future of work - and how should leaders prepare their teams for what’s coming?

As a community partner, Global Viet Women (GVW) is excited to share this upcoming panel discussion by ITPA, bringing together leaders working at the intersection of AI, recruitment, employment and organisational capability.

The panel will explore the questions leadership teams are asking right now:
• Is AI creating new roles or simply reshaping existing ones?
• Which jobs are most exposed - and which are safest?
• What capabilities should organisations be building today?
• How will AI change the way we structure and grow our teams?

Featuring Tamba K Sumana, Mickey Rummery, Khang Vo and Alex Young, the discussion will draw on the latest Australian government data on AI and employment - with a focus on what is actually happening in workplaces, rather than just AI tools and hype.

📅 Thursday, 27 August 2026
🕕 6:00–8:00 PM
📍 11th Space, 1102/568 Collins Street, Melbourne
🎟️ Use promo codes for GVW members: GVW_AI_JOBS when booking.
Register link: https://luma.com/namg9mwk

This is the first event in a four-part series on AI and the future of work, continuing through November.
If you’re a leader, business owner, HR professional, or simply curious about how AI will shape your career and workplace, this is a conversation worth joining.
Come with your questions - there will be time to put them directly to the panel.

🇦🇺🇻🇳 A meaningful day for Global Viet Women

Today was a particularly meaningful and memorable day for Global Viet Women (GVW) 🌸🌼🪷

GVW was honoured to be represented at the State Lunch hosted by Her Excellency the Honourable Sam Mostyn AC, Governor-General of Australia, in honour of the State Visit to Australia by His Excellency Mr Tô Lâm, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam and President of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.

Representing GVW, our Co-founder and President Minh Cao had the opportunity to share with Her Excellency and distinguished guests about GVW’s work and our vision for the role Vietnamese women can play in strengthening the connections between Australia and Vietnam.

At GVW, we believe stronger bilateral relationships are built not only through governments, but also through people, communities, businesses and culture.

Through our work in Culture, Commercial Connections and Capability Building, we aim to connect Vietnamese women across Australia and Vietnam and create opportunities for greater collaboration and contribution.

Later in the day, GVW was also honoured to attend the official welcome for General Secretary and President Tô Lâm, hosted by the Embassy of Vietnam in Australia, at the newly inaugurated Vietnam House in Canberra.

Being part of these two occasions on the same day — at Australia Government House and then at Vietnam House — was both an honour and a deeply moving experience.

For a young organisation like GVW, moments like these remind us why we started: to connect people, empower women and contribute to a stronger and more connected Australia–Vietnam relationship.

We are grateful for the opportunity to contribute and look forward to continuing to build bridges through women, culture, connection and opportunity.
