From 6:00 PM
At KPMG Sydney
Level 38, Tower Three, International Towers Sydney, 300 Barangaroo Avenue, Barangaroo, Sydney
The Group of 100 (G100) is pleased to invite members to the first G100 Member Dinner for 2025.
We hope you can join us to meet with senior CFOs and hear from a distinguished panel over dinner discussing the potential impact of major US policy changes on Australian companies.
You’ll have the opportunity hear from geopolitical and economic experts, as they discuss the sweeping changes taking shape in the US affecting areas such as sustainability and diversity equality and inclusion, even more important considering the forthcoming federal election in Australia.
We hope you will be able to attend and bring one of your senior staff (each member is able to bring one member of their team to these dinners); if you are unable to attend, please feel free to send a senior member of your team in your place. Â The dinner will start with networking drinks at 6.00pm and there will be ample time after dinner for members to catch up as well.
Remember G100 events are included as part of your membership and may count towards CPD points for both the CAANZ and CPAA.
Don’t miss out, register now.
