ABOUT THE HYBRID FORMAT

Leadership is a unique event. Through open and courageous conversation, civil society leaders are able to tap into thought leadership and think through collective challenges. We know that coming together in person is a special part of this process.

In running this event in 2025, we are balancing many factors. We know gathering in-person can be a catalyst for courageous conversations and relationship building, and we want this event to be accessible for people who cannot attend in person, for health or other reasons.

As such, Leadership will as a hybrid event, with two modes of participation: the majority of participants will gather in-person at Old Parliament House in Canberra, with an alternative online participation stream incorporated into the event through livestream and concurrent facilitated discussion.

This is the second time that Leadership will run as a hybrid event.

OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS

If you need to change from in-person to remote attendance, the following conditions will apply:
