| Gold Coast room |
Details
Each group has now had a crack at all three topics and returns to its starting topic to review perspectives from across the industry. This discussion provides an opportunity to make sense of what other groups have added and layer insights across conversations. Where are we aligned as an industry, what’s surprising or unexpected, and where are the opportunities for action and change? Following this final discussion, we will have initial shared takeaways for each topic to be revisited later in the conference.
