Hello friend,
2023 is in full swing with our signature Gala Dinner and GameChanger Summit around the corner. An incredible line up of global and local speakers, including Industry Minister, The Hon. Ed Husic MP; and former PM, The Hon. Malcolm Turnbull AC, will join other leaders shaping the future of Australia. Grab your tickets here if you can join these events in Sydney, or stay tuned for the highlights in next month’s newsletter!
Last month we asked what you love / miss the most about the Aussie lifestyle – and you guys are pretty split between a range of natural and societal factors 🧑🤝🧑☀️. See the poll results here, and make sure to answer this month’s poll about Aussie news!
In other big news, nominations for the 2023 Global Australian Awards are open! Our Awards each year uncover incredible talent, made possible by those who take the time to nominate a game-changing global Aussie, so don’t miss this opportunity to get them recognised.
Finally, as a global community, we want to ensure you can easily reach us and share any issues that are top of mind for you. Our next quarterly #CoffeeHour is on Wednesday 1 March, 10am AEDT. All are welcome for this free-flowing, informal catchup – hope you can join!
‘Till next time,
Johanna Pitman
