The keynote speaker will be Professor Michael Enright from the University of Hong Kong, talking about the big impact issues that could go either way as the 21st century reaches its second decade, including transforming competitiveness, cities as innovation hubs, China and new angles on globalisation.

We will also hear from Narelle Kennedy and Susan Oliver on: 'The Future Revisited', an update of the Australian Business Foundation's pioneering scenario planning study published in 1999.  The original study, 'Alternative Futures: Scenarios for Business in Australia to the year 2015' will be re-examined in a project being led by futurist and business analyst Susan Oliver.
