The Australian Indigenous Governance Institute (AIGI) will convene an Indigenous Governance Excellence Masterclass in October this year. The Masterclass will combine guest speakers, presentations and interactive workshops on areas of Indigenous Governance. It will cover themes such as cultural legitimacy, innovation, best practice and succession planning. It will cover critical areas in Indigenous Governance.

In June 2019, the Australian Indigenous Governance Institute (AIGI) in partnership with the Lowitja Institute, the Australian Institute for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS) and Aboriginal Governance and Management Program (AGMP) will convene an ‘Indigenous Youth in Governance Masterclass’. This Masterclass will connect, educate and promote Indigenous people aged 18 to 35 years who are or hope to be active in the business of governance locally, regionally and nationally.

The demand for data is increasing as Indigenous nations engage in economic, social, and cultural development on a rapid scale. Additionally, the need to protect Indigenous cultural and proprietary information is paramount. This Masterclass examines the role of data as an exercise of sovereignty in Indigenous nation governance and self-determination. It will dually explore data collected internally by Indigenous nations and communities, and information collected by external sources.
