2010 Critical Horizons Conference

Background

The Critical Horizons series examines emerging global trends and how they might affect communities in the South West region of Western Australia. It’s our way of helping South West residents to plan and become better prepared for the future.

Critical Horizons events are a must for decision makers in all areas, with past events exploring a diverse range of topical issues including carbon futures, water, renewable energy and China.

A two-day conference is held triennially, while two one-day seminars are held throughout the year at Bunbury’s Edith Cowan University. Both types of events attract high-profile speakers from around Australia and are considered important networking opportunities for the region’s business and community leaders.

Conference details

The two-day conference will be held at Edith Cowan University from 2-3 June 2010. Set to be a prestigious event, it features big-name speakers including Jeff Kennett, Ian Plimer and Peter Ellyard.
