🌏 This Week in APAC We were thrilled to host powerful gatherings bringing together senior leaders, innovators, and community changemakers in Singapore and Sydney this week — all focused on shaping Australia’s future beyond borders. These events highlighted the value of people-to-people links, strengthening connections between Australians across the region and reinforcing the relationships that power our global influence. We explored the opportunities and challenges facing Australia across Southeast Asia and the USA — with a focus on innovation, technology, productivity, talent, competitiveness, and key insights from international markets. 🇸🇬 In Singapore, our Global Leaders Lunch welcomed special guest His Excellency Allaster Cox, Australian High Commissioner, and featured insights from Andrew Andrew Low, author of We Should Be So Lucky. Later that evening, our Sip & Connect event at Diageo brought the community together for vibrant conversation, shared perspectives, and fresh opportunities. 🇦🇺 In Sydney, our Australian Global Leaders Lunch gathered senior voices from across business, government, and innovation to discuss the major opportunities shaping our nation — well beyond election cycles. A huge thank you to all who joined us — and to our event partners Diageo and Gilbert + Tobin for helping bring these moments to life. Next stop: 🇭🇰 Hong Kong, as we continue fostering people-to-people connections and engaging Australians around the world. Want to be a part of it? We’d love to connect you globally and empower you locally. Sign up at: www.advance.org @katemcquestin (fb)
