Wire Melbourne | Strength in numbers: Growing financial confidence, choice & freedom
6-8 PM
The Commons Cremorne

Between the gender pay gap, retirement gap and the motherhood penalty, financial independence can feel out of reach for women in Australia - but it doesn’t have to be.

In this keynote, financial educator Lacey Filipich will share:

  • The baseline showing how women are handicapped in their journey towards financial independence,
  • What systemic change is needed to bring women onto a level playing field with men, and
  • While we’re waiting for systemic change, what women can do to close their personal gender gaps

Lacey will include an inspirational case study for anyone who’s ever wondered ‘Am I too late to fix my finances?’

Tell It or Lose It: Storytelling as the New Career Currency
6PM Onwards
Level 8 Drawing Room, The Great Room at Afro-Asia Building

In this session, we’ll explore how storytelling moves beyond communication to become a strategic career skill – one that shapes visibility, builds trust, and drives impact. Because in a world where technical skills are increasingly standardised, it’s not just what you know – but how powerfully you make it land.

Join us for an evening with sought-after speakers Anna Ong (Founder of What’s Your Story Huh?) and Shilpa S Nath (Founder of Women in AI (for good) and What The Fail) as they talk about the power of storytelling to help us:

• Turn everyday work into compelling narratives that influence decisions
• Reframe challenges, ambiguity, and failure into stories of growth and impact
• Use storytelling as a tool for reinvention, resilience, and career momentum

Big thanks to IPSOS, Toluna, and Bolt Insight, for making this event possible.

Come ready to own your story – and make it land!

Work Smarter, Research Faster
9 AM PST

Market research has never been more accessible or more intelligent. Join us for an exclusive webinar where we'll unveil the latest AI-powered innovations inside Pollfish, our DIY survey platform designed to put the power of professional-grade research in everyone's hands.

Whether you're a seasoned insights professional or someone just getting started with market research, the pressure to gather faster and more actionable data continues to grow. In this session, we'll walk you through four new AI features that are changing the way research gets done, from survey creation all the way through to final reporting.

We'll demonstrate how the Pollfish AI Survey Designer can take your research objectives and instantly draft and program a complete, ready-to-launch survey, eliminating hours of manual setup. You'll also see how our Conversational AI question type goes beyond traditional open-ends by using intelligent probing to follow up with respondents in real time, surfacing the kind of rich, nuanced insights that standard surveys often miss.

From there, we'll show how AI-generated executive reports automatically distill your data into clear, compelling narratives with key findings already highlighted, so you spend less time in the weeds and more time making decisions. And finally, we'll introduce the AI Chat with Your Data feature inside Insights Builder, our data visualization platform, where you can ask a question in plain language and get the answers you need without needing any technical expertise or data background.

This webinar is for marketers, brand managers, product teams, and business leaders who want to make smarter decisions without the complexity that has traditionally come with market research. Come see what Pollfish can do.

Andrea Scheuerman

VP, Insights Consulting, Prodege

ADIA Leader's Forum 2026
Sydney

The Leaders Forum full-day program empowers industry leaders with practical strategies and fresh perspectives to navigate today’s fast-changing environment.

As we head into 2026, leaders continue to be challenged by a world that is increasingly tech-focused, artificially intelligent and data-driven.

As leaders, how do we keep up with change and remain flexible, while maintaining our values and corporate identity?

Human-led, AI-enabled - At its core, leadership remains an inherently human pursuit. While AI may revolutionise the way we work, it is human leaders who define our purpose and goals. Successful leaders will blend human depth with digital fluency, using AI as a tool—not a replacement—and focusing on uniquely human strengths. An organisation’s advantage in the AI era depends not just on technology to drive productivity, but on authentic, adaptable, responsible and resilient leaders.

This year’s Leaders Forum focuses on human-centric leadership and AI, all designed to capitalise on the value of people in our highly connected ecosystem.

Don’t miss out! Early bird rates close on April 10, 2026.
