Future Summit is an annual event that is run by the Australian Davos Connection to share the wealth of ideas within the broader World Economic Forum community with the thought leaders of Australia.
”If Australia could do a few big things that would have the greatest positive impact on our collective future, what should they be?”

Some of the topics I’m really looking forward to discussing are global megatrends, evolution of media and communication, disaster response, change acceleration, emerging business models, technology as a growth multiplier, and priorities of a post-crisis world. You can find my coverage:
