We are pleased to invite you to an exclusive live stream event hosted by the Brisbane Chapter. Join local Asset Management Council members for an engaging evening as we gather together and dial into Brisbane’s technical session, “Navigating Asset Management: Concepts, Careers and Connections.”
Join us for an evening designed for early-career professionals, those transitioning into asset management roles, and practitioners simply looking to refresh their knowledge and reconnect with our asset management community. The session will refresh core asset management concepts, explore recent updates to Asset Management Council models, and discuss emerging trends and challenges shaping the profession, through short presentations followed by an interactive panel discussion.
The event will also highlight diverse pathways into asset management, with speakers sharing their career journeys, key mindset shifts, and the skills that remain valuable across operations, delivery, and asset management roles.
This is a fantastic opportunity to gain insights and network with peers in a relaxed setting.
We look forward to welcoming you at the Townsville Chapter Meet!
