As a first-time attendee at Governance Institute of Australia’s National Conference, Kirsty Wright is prepared to learn as much as possible from this year’s keynote sessions and panellists. 

As the Governance Institute of Australia’s National Conference fast approaches, many familiar faces will be joining the annual event ‘virtually’, attending key-note sessions and panels. The two-day event will include 18 sessions and attendees can hear from more than 45 global thought leadership speakers and participate in networking and social opportunities. 

Directors have an enormous responsibility to set the ‘tone from the top’, particularly as breakdowns in board behaviour are often identified as a contributor to corporate crises and failure. Director education and effectiveness are under the microscope. 

As Sydney plunges into its two-week lockdown, and other regions around Australia nervously wonder if they may be next, plans are busily being reshuffled and for those of us who had returned to the office, WFH outfits are being dusted off. But many will also be feeling that all-too-familiar sense of stress and anxiety creeping back. 

It is with great pleasure that we invite you to join us at Governance Institute of Australia’s 2021 National Conference, on Wednesday, 1 and Thursday 2 September 2021. 

Does this sound familiar — I want to study but it’s just not the right time?
