The seminar series


It’s a small world. What happens in one part of the world can have an enormous affect on another.

Industrial growth in China, for instance, is helping to drive major expansion in the South West of Western Australia.

And that’s just for starters.

To help leaders stay informed about emerging global trends and become better prepared for the future, the South West Development Commission has established the Critical Horizons seminar series.

Events in the series expose local leaders to worldwide issues, trends and ideas.

Renewable energy, the growth of China and the future for water have all featured as conference themes.

The seminars follow-on from 2007’s acclaimed two-day Critical Horizons Futures Conference, and have been designed to help leaders better prepare for the future by informing them of global trends and their impact on regional areas.
