From the world of jazz to the Australian Defence Force, these speakers will share their stories of leadership, collaboration and adapting to change.
Our 2025 Family Business Conference features a line-up of local and global experts, each bringing valuable insights on how to navigate change through a family business lens. We're thrilled to share the details of two of these sessions with you below.
