Thought leadership Summit – 50 For the Future

Advance will host its annual thought leadership Summit - Themed '50 For the Future' on 7-8 March 2011 at the Sydney Opera House.

The Summit will highlight the achievements of some remarkable women, and introduce 50 current and emerging leaders in the Asia Pacific.

Each year Advance hosts a Summit in a different global city as part of our commitment to showcase and harness the talent and expertise of Australia's diaspora, and provide feedback - to influence government and business decision-making.

The Advance Thought Leadership Summits are recognized as a place where established and emerging leaders from Australia's diverse diaspora meet to explore and disseminate ideas, connections and best practices. 

The Summit Goals include:

  • To bring together 200 interested and interesting 'Friends of Australia' from across the Asia Pacific region
  • To celebrate the example and achievements of 50 established and emerging female leaders of our diaspora
  • To showcase the innovative leadership roles of women in the region
  • To highlight and address current regional issues across multiple sectors
  • To emphasise the opportunities for growing the talent pool in the region
  • To integrate current and emerging women leaders in our Diaspora with the broader Australian community

Advance will select 50 female Australian, alumni established and emerging leaders living or working off-shore, in the Asia Pacific region. And, AustCham is invited to nominate 3-5 people who you think should be considered for '50 For the Future'.  Attached is the Advance 'Call for Nomination' form for your reference. Nominations close on Sunday, 05 December, 2010.

The Advance Thought Leadership Summits represent a unique opportunity to network with peers, and gather clear and intelligent insight into critical trends and solutions that will influence Australia's growth and its place in the world.
