Melbourne Breakfast Event: US Innovation Ecosystems and lessons for Australian Higher Education

Earlier this year, Australian university leaders joined Adobe and ServiceNow on an Education Leadership Study Tour across the United States. Alongside industry participants, including Deloitte, the group explored how leading institutions are navigating AI, workforce transformation, and evolving student expectations.
Join us for an executive breakfast discussion in Melbourne alongside peers from across the higher education sector. This breakfast session is an opportunity to continue that conversation here in Australia.
This session is designed as a collaborative leadership conversation, bringing together university leaders to reflect on emerging ideas, share perspectives, and discuss what future-ready institutions may look like over the coming decade.
