Welcome to Governance Institute’s National Conference 2021

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

This is our flagship event that brings together business, government and not-for-profit sector leaders and our community of governance and risk management professionals for an annual exchange of insights, intelligence and ideas that will drive governance and risk management excellence in the coming five to ten years. 

We have anchored this year’s conference agenda around the theme ‘Culture Powers Purpose’. With culture as the thread, the agenda explores: who we are, why we do business, how we do it, what values we espouse, and how we navigate together the paths for resilience, inclusion, innovation, and growth. 

Speakers from around the world will focus on the opportunities the coming years offer, the innovations that the recent months have accelerated, and the strategies that will underpin sustainable growth. Through all this they reflect on the pivotal role of people and culture in defining and strengthening the way forward. 

There is a special joy in being able to invite you to join us at the International Convention Centre in Sydney for this event this year. And we are keenly looking forward to seeing many of you face to face, to engage in the spontaneous conversations, and priceless information sharing and networking, that are a highlight of this annual event. 

That said, this will be a hybrid event to ensure that you can also join the conference virtually.

I look forward to seeing you all there.
