A conversation with David Gonski
Join us for a rare opportunity to ask the questions you’ve always wanted to ask to one of Australia’s foremost national leaders.
A conversation with David Gonski AC
David is joining Fellows and guests for lunch for what will be a genuine conversation. There will be no prepared speech. Instead, this is an opportunity for attendees to engage directly with David, asking questions about the issues that matter most to them, and engage in a “no holds barred” Q & A.
Whether your interests are in Australia’s economic future, global affairs, leadership, education, innovation, or social cohesion, security or racism in our country, or the arts, or the challenges and opportunities facing our nation, this is your chance to hear David’s perspectives and engage in an open and wide-ranging discussion.
Few Australians have contributed across so many fields or bring such breadth of experience and insight. Opportunities to ask questions of someone with David Gonski’s unique perspective are rare.
Come prepared with your questions and join us for what promises to be an engaging, thoughtful and memorable conversation.
