The 2024 Global Summit is less than four months away and we have an exciting lineup of keynote speakers and presenters in store to share their insights.
Representatives from many of our international regulatory networks will be joining us in Brisbane in November including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and World Commission on Environmental Law to name a few.
We have also secured keynote speakers on a wide range of regulatory subjects hailing from all over Australia and New Zealand, with over 40 additional abstracts submitted for consideration to present during plenary and breakout sessions, plus poster presentations and published papers.
See below for a taste of our speaker list, more details on their expertise and subject matter is coming soon along with more speakers to be released.
