About the Summit
Participants are invited from across all sectors of Australian society. Attendees are established leaders of their organisations or emerging leaders in senior leadership/executive roles. ADC endeavours to achieve significant representation from each sector (community, education, business and government), from across generations, and from a diversity of cultural/ethnic backgrounds from right around Australia. In addition, international representatives from the region and beyond are invited to add a strong global perspective to the Summit’s discussions.
