As businesses navigated an era of rapid technological change and global uncertainty, ABSA recognised the need to equip students with the skills and insights to adapt, innovate, and lead. In response, we structured our 2023 events around the theme of facing the future, exploring how emerging trends, sustainability, and technology-driven solutions are shaping the next generation of business.
Attendees, including Presidents and Vice Presidents from member societies, had the opportunity to present on their achievements, share future plans, and engage in strategic discussions with their peers. The conference also featured keynote speeches and panel discussions from industry leaders, offering invaluable insights into the evolving business landscape.
Thank you to all who attended the 2023 ABSA National Conference, “Facing the Future.” This prestigious event brought together student leaders from ABSA Member Societies across Australia, representing WA, QLD, NSW, VIC, and SA, alongside industry professionals for a day of collaboration, learning, and networking.
