This year I am privileged to be facilitating a number of events for business leaders, mainly through my TEC chair role. The speakers I have invited this year are, for those in the know, a “who’s who” of the best business speakers in Australia giving some insightful and thoroughly practical ideas.

Below is some information on each of these speakers. If you click on any of the images or titles you can learn more about the event. Some events are closed or at full capacity but others are still open to guests. Please feel free to contact me and register your interest for any of the events. Of course if you want to see all of these people, you just have to join one of my or my fellow TEC Chairs groups!
