Thanks so much for joining me at the Business Events Australia Leaders Forum last week in Melbourne. It is very difficult to give an indepth overview of a two week event in 30 minutes, but hope through the presentation, the Q&A and the references below it gives you a much greater insight into some of the international leadership either via subnational governments and or the business community being provided in lieu of a binding international agreement, and what that all means to you, your business, your community and your family and the subsequent opportunities.
