Melbourne Connect's events program offers innovation and inspiration across a range of topics and industries. From academic lectures and debates to graduate exhibitions, innovation festivals that engage the whole city, and cocktail networking events with our entrepreneurial community. Many of our events are open to the public and free to attend, so we look forward to welcoming you to one of our upcoming events.
What is the future of our financial system? As the global economy becomes more interconnected and digitised, the foundations of finance are being reshaped. Market shocks cross borders in minutes, tariffs disrupt entire economies, and cryptocurrencies operate beyond traditional oversight. Meanwhile, the impact of technology, climate change, and shifting models of property and employment are challenging long-held assumptions.
The Future of Finance will explore the growing vulnerabilities in this system and provide informed, cross-sector dialogue to help us achieve a more resilient and inclusive financial future.
Join leading experts, policymakers, and innovators from government, industry, and academia for an essential conversation about the shifting dynamics of money and power. This event will highlight the strategies needed to ensure stability, drive smarter decisions, and respond to the challenges of a rapidly changing world.
