Back of the Napkin Lunch – Education, Employment & Workforce Development

This gathering is all about connecting South Australian leaders, educators (all levels), entrepreneurs, workforce planners, developers, apprenticeship plus employment services, RTOs, HE providers and innovators – while also building bridges across borders to ASEAN, the USA, and beyond.

What we'll cover:

• Discover the gaps and needs you didn’t even know existed – and see how your solutions, services, or programs might be the missing piece.
• Scale up your impact – explore ways to expand your courses, microcredentials, and capability building programs for local, national, and global audiences.
• Make valuable connections – meet people like your supportive neighbours who could become collaborators, co-creators, or future partners.
• Glimpse into global opportunities – get inspired by what’s possible when we work together across regions, sectors, and borders.

This event is about sparking conversations and designing solutions on the back of a napkin that could grow into major projects, partnerships, or international opportunities.

Your ticket includes lunch (drinks available for purchase at the bar) so come with an open mind, a curious outlook, and a readiness to collaborate.

Co-Hosts are Wendy Perry from Workforce BluePrint, Switch Start Scale, Sea to Valley Startups; and Kerryn Smith from the Defence Teaming Centre (DTC).
