At all #HeadsUp events, a significant amount of the panel time is dedicated to audience questions, so that attendees from a range of industries can have their particular questions addressed.
Joanne Jacobs, COO of 1000heads commented: “Australia is in desperate need of events that are accessible and which give business people from all sectors a chance to ask questions of experts. We designed #HeadsUp as a free event to address that need. And given what’s happening with the global economy, it’s crucial that the Australian business community supports each other in providing a heads-up on what can affect their strategy.”
