Summit theme
Ahead of the United Nations International Year of Cooperatives 2025, now is the time to “Elevate! Our identity, impact, influence”.
Join other co-operative and mutual leaders at closed-door CEO roundtables and panel discussions to learn from each other, share your ideas and explore new ways of doing business. Explore topics including the global success of co-operatives and mutuals, improving brand awareness of our business model with customers, deepening our member value proposition and the impact of regulation on business productivity. Breakout sessions will focus on industry sectors, including agriculture, financial services, retail and buying, health and care and the power of co-operating with First Nations enterprises. Panel discussions explore the leading performance of co-operatives and mutuals in housing, sustainability and talent acquisition. Our closing plenary looks to co-operatives to safeguard Australia’s food security.
