International Business School Alumni Associations In Melbourne are pleased to present our annual keynote speaker event, Megatrends Shaping Australia, Tuesday May 21

Megatrends such as changing climate, shifting demographics, technology and an evolving labour market can have significant implications for Australia's future prosperity and security, as they shape the opportunities and challenges that Australia will face in the coming decades. To respond effectively to megatrends, Australia needs to understand their drivers, impacts and uncertainties and respond with long-term strategies and policies.
