Men’s Leadership Summit

Welcome to the Men’s Leadership Summit—an event dedicated to empowering and championing the largest minority in Australia:

Men. In a society often focused on various minority groups, the unique challenges and opportunities faced by men can sometimes be overlooked. However, at this summit, we shine a spotlight on men as the largest minority, recognising their diverse experiences, struggles, and contributions.

This Summit is crafted to empower and inspire men and women from diverse backgrounds on their path to leadership.

We will unfold distinct conversations, each thoughtfully curated to address critical facets of Men’s leadership in contemporary Australia.

From exploring faith/culture-driven leadership and navigating the intricacies of politics to nurturing mental health and well-being, making meaningful impacts in human services, mentoring the next generation of leaders, embracing the vital role of fatherhood and understanding the unique challenges men face as the largest minority.

Date: Friday 8th November – 7:30 – 17:00

Location: Royal Randwick Racecourse, Alison Road, Randwick NSW 2031
