SYDNEY – 27 September 2023: Cliftons is delighted to announce that one of Australia’s most engaging thinkers, The Hon Michael Kirby AC CMG, will be speaking at our Sydney ‘Horizons’ event on Thursday 26 October.
In an interview and panel discussion with Libbi Gorr and Adam Spencer, Michael will be sharing insights on a wide range of topics including diversity and LGBTIQ rights, the Voice to Parliament vote and Indigenous rights, workplace equality, cybersecurity and the rise of AI.
As a long-time inspiration to both Libbi and Adam, both are looking forward to the chance to ask Michael a range of questions and get his unique insights on the topics that are at the forefront of society and shaping many organisations.
Vanessa Green, Cliftons CEO says, “When we started planning the Horizons event series, we really wanted to deliver content with real depth and a chance to discuss the big issues that are shaping broader society, not just looking at superficial business trends. As a long-time fan of Michael, I’m thrilled that he’s going to be part of the day and I’m looking forward to hearing his thoughts on how life has changed in the LGBTIQ community – and what still needs to change, as well as the Voice to Parliament and Indigenous rights, and of course, the hot topic of 2023, AI. With Libbi Gorr and Adam Spencer joining the conversation, this is sure to be a fantastic mix of wit, insight, and entertainment.”
