BCCM Member Event for CEOs

• CEO Summit: Friday, 17 June 2022, 7:30 am – 11:50 am AEST

Incorporating the BCCM Director’s Dinner and Drinks the night before, Vision for growth: Bigger markets, better CMEs, is our high-level CEO mini-Summit on the theme of navigating growth through consolidation for member and market benefit.

Hosted at the 5-star Sir Stamford Hotel, Sydney, the Director’s Dinner will allow our member CEOs the opportunity to share a meal and glass of wine with the BCCM directors before the commencement of the CEO Summit the next morning. An all-inclusive price for one night’s accommodation, a seat at the table at the Directors’ Dinner and attendance at the Summit including breakfast is available for members travelling from interstate.

Preparing the sector for the next era of growth

This CEO Summit will consider the challenge of business consolidation facing co-operatives and mutuals across a range of different industry sectors.

As increased competition and regulatory pressure continues to push CMEs towards merger, how will the interests of members be best preserved? What lessons can be learned from international experience and how might these best be applied in an Australian context?

Delegates convene for a business breakfast, followed by a keynote address from our international guest speaker, Monique Leroux, followed by panel discussions and round-table CEO dialogues with the BCCM board and members.

Delegates will receive an embargoed copy of the Summit discussion paper on the opportunity for federated CMEs in Australia.

For any questions or concerns, please contact Events Convenor, Bev Wood at [email protected] or 0411 790 777.

All ticket prices include GST.
