Event format
Breakfast roundtable

Sydney is traditionally known for its beauty – beaches, harbour and bush. But in recent years, it has quietly been undertaking a series of reforms to its housing, infrastructure and cultural sectors. This has transformed its reputation and the city is now exporting around the world – including advising PM Andy Burnham on new UK nighttime policy. This event will explore how lessons from Sydney can be applied in the London context. 

Why attend?
This is an exclusive opportunity for BusinessLDN members to gain valuable insights from our sister organisation on how Sydney has structured its reforms over the past decade, and what lessons could be applied to London as we push for our own reforms to support economic growth in the capital. 

This roundtable discussion will benefit senior business leaders with an interest in London’s competitiveness on the global stage. We’ll discuss how Sydney’s business leaders and policy makers have changed perceptions of the city through ambitious delivery, and how these learnings can help project London as a vibrant capital city, with thriving communities and attractive investment opportunities.

Eamon Waterford, Chief Executive, Committee for Sydney
Chaired by John Dickie, Chief Executive, BusinessLDN
