And just like that, the annual IAP2 Australasia Conference is wrapped up for 2024! What a fantastic three days full of insights, sharing, discussion and networking. There were so many great takeaways from the event, and we can’t wait to do it all again next year.
We’re excited to reflect on the success of this year’s ‘Innovate to Elevate’ Conference and appreciate everyone’s contribution to making it such a memorable event.
Holly Ransom kicked off the conference with an inspiring keynote, setting a high bar with actionable insights and dynamic engagement strategies. Her session energised the audience and set a solid foundation for the days ahead.
Emma Gibbens brought a fresh perspective to the art of conversation, offering practical and interactive strategies that resonated with many attendees. Her session on harnessing the power of conversation was both engaging and highly relevant, providing valuable tools for effective communication.
To close, Isabella delivered a truly one-of-a-kind, memorable keynote, combining humour with deep reflections on community engagement. Her authentic and raw delivery touched on both the highs and lows of our work, leaving a lasting impression on all who attended.
The breakout sessions were equally enriching, featuring diverse topics and interactive discussions that offered valuable insights and fresh ideas. We’re grateful to all our speakers for their exceptional contributions and to everyone who participated in making this event so impactful.
Thank you for being part of the conference and making it truly special. We’re excited to continue the journey with you in Melbourne next year!
