Moderated by Patricia Karvelas, highly respected journalist and commentator, this year’s debate examines a key question affecting workplaces and wider society: Is polarisation holding diversity and inclusion back?
The DCA Debate is a wonderful opportunity to host a table of clients or employees and celebrate the energy and passion of Australian businesses in advancing diversity, inclusion, and equality for all. It’s also a unique opportunity to network with your peers in the diversity and inclusion space.
This exciting evening is presented by major sponsor IAG, supporting sponsor Suncorp and associate sponsor Telstra.
