The Financial Review’s reputation for news-breaking, agenda-setting and authoritative analysis finds new expression in AFR Live, a series of premium, independent and hard-hitting business events.
Banking Summit: A record-breaking bull run may have pushed bank shares to fresh heights but, in many cases, the leaders that steered the sector to this apogee are preparing to give way to the next generation. This new generation of bankers must balance this against their own desire to make a mark – with the scars of the Hayne Royal Commission fading away, where can they turn for growth as competition resumes with a fresh intensity.
Workforce Summit: Australia’s workforce is undergoing significant transformation, driven by advancements in technology, shifting employee expectations, and evolving business models. The need for businesses to adapt has never been more urgent. With an agenda focused on the critical issues of leadership, talent, diversity and the future of work, the Financial Review Workforce Summit offers a unique opportunity to engage with influential voices shaping the future of Australia’s workforce.
Healthcare Summit – New in 2025: Australia’s world-class healthcare system faces its toughest test yet. An ageing population and rising chronic and mental illness are straining resources, while GP shortages and public hospital waiting lists grow. But it’s not all doom and gloom. Cutting-edge tech and medical breakthroughs are transforming patient care, from game-changing weight-loss drugs to telehealth revolutions. The Financial Review Healthcare Summit will dissect these dramatic changes affecting Australia’s vital healthcare industry.
Mining Summit: Australia’s mining industry is navigating a year of enormous political upheaval. A new administration in the White House is threatening to impose hefty tariffs on major trading partners, while at home elections could bring change to Canberra and the big resource states like QLD and WA. It means extra turbulence for an industry trying to keep pace with fast-changing demands, rising competition, tightening sustainability standards, and the ongoing challenges of cyclical commodity prices.
AI Summit: We stand on the edge of a transformative moment for business and society, where artificial intelligence is no longer a buzzword but the driving force behind global innovation efforts, market growth and geopolitical positioning. Join global experts, visionary business leaders, tech innovators, and policymakers at the Financial Review AI Summit for an in-depth look at how AI is already changing the way we live, work, and invest.
