Engaging, informing, and inspiring the next generation of professionals seeking a career with an international component, the International Careers Conference is a full-day event running from 8:45am to 7:00pm in which participants will get exclusive access to professionals, academics, diplomats, and world-renowned experts.
The conference opens with a keynote address [to be held under the Chatham House Rule] by Dr. David Dutton, Assistant Secretary for Climate and Environmental Diplomacy at DFAT, followed by a series of panel discussions featuring an array of professionals from government, academia, industry, and the not-for-profit sector, all offering advice and career insights from their respective fields. Attendees will have the opportunity to pose their own questions to the panellists during dedicated Q&A segments.
In the afternoon, career-specific masterclasses give smaller groups the opportunity to seek advice from those who have more recently entered their chosen fields, and provide a chance for those attending to ask questions in a specialised environment.
Please select five masterclass sessions when completing your registration for the conference. You will be randomly allocated to five masterclasses if you do not tick the boxes of the ones you want to attend. There will be five repeated sessions of the same masterclass, so make sure you select different masterclasses.
The conference ticket price includes a fully catered morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea; as well as some drinks at the networking reception.
