Young entrepreneurs & leaders speaker series

About

Impactful events & public diplomacy

The aim of the Young Entrepreneurs & Leaders Speaker Series is to showcase, inspire, celebrate and connect young entrepreneurs and leaders that are making a difference to their societies.

We bring young Australian experts and speakers to select countries in the world, hosting week-long delegations running workshops, Q&As, forums, keynote speeches and events that gather a broad range of society together to discuss important topics of collaboration.
