Taking place prior to the IABCA Gala on Friday 14 May at Australia’s first fully integrated harbourside convention, exhibition and entertainment venue, ICC Sydney, the 2021 IABCA Global Leaders Forum supported by Global NSW will focus on the Business Diaspora Diplomacy.
This exciting new initiative will navigate Australia’s relationship with India through our people-to-people links across three engaging panel discussions and workshops. The forum will leverage the expertise of key leaders across both nations and navigate some of the central pillars that underpin Australia’s relationship with India.
Featuring three engaging panel sessions across Food & Agribusiness, STEM and Soft Power.
The IABCA Global Leaders Forum will highlight roadmaps for continued growth across the people-to-people, economic and institutional engagements that bind India and Australia through our growing Alumni.
The IABCA Forum will shape perceptions by showcasing the diversity and talent of our business diaspora and offer audiences continued engagement and updates across various sectors.
