Keynote Speaker, Jane Caro - We are excited to have booked Jane Caro as our kenote speaker. Jane has a low boredom threshold and so wears many hats; including author, novelist, lecturer, mentor, social commentator, columnist, workshop facilitator, speaker, broadcaster and award winning advertising writer.

The University shuttle operates as well if you intend to arrive later. You will need to pay for your own transport costs such as train fares and parking. Please note that an Opal Card may be required if you are travelling by train. You will be transported by buses from this first venue to the other venues. Buses will finish at the networking/canapés session at 255 Elizabeth Street Sydney which commences at 5.30pm visiting ACAP, SIBT, Western Sydney University, and LaTrobe University.
