CPA Congress has taxied up, is on the runway and will be taking off from Melbourne today!
Today will be jam packed with sessions that will make you want to plan your next holiday sooner rather than later.
First up is Keynote 1, ‘Rethinking the crisis- strategies to survive the economic turmoil’ with an excellent panel comprising Bruce Buchanan, CEO of Jetstar, Peter Switzer, financial commentator and Anne La Fontaine FCPA, Finance Director for Hewlett-Packard South Pacific.
After this morning’s sessions, our lunch guest speaker will have you hankering for some excitement and danger in your life. Matt McFadyen is an adventurer who was the youngest Australian to ski to the North Pole unassisted and has sailed to Antarctica on a 43 foot yacht across the most dangerous ocean on earth. He will no doubt inspire you to break out of your box and do something different, challenge yourself and test your limits.
Following this afternoon’s concurrent sessions, there is more travel. James Strong, AO will be delivering Keynote 2. He is Chairman of Woolworths Limited and Insurance Australian Group and Director of Qantas Airways and will discuss ‘The management challenge for Australia’ in what will be an enlightening and informative presentation from a business veteran with a very impressive list of achievements.
Don’t forget, this year CPA Congress is being held at the new Melbourne Convention Exhibition Centre at South Wharf, near the Polly Woodside. It’s impressive and classy and I guarantee you’ll enjoy the facilities as they are world class.
