Celebrating the Partners of the 15th ACYD

The 15th ACYD marked a significant milestone in fostering meaningful connections between emerging leaders from Australia and China. This year’s dialogue not only showcased the city of Guangzhou as a hub of trade and cultural exchange, but also allowed the delegates of the ACYD to engage in impactful conversations that shape the future of bilateral engagement.

The 15th ACYD would not have been possible without the unwavering support of our Major, Associate and Affiliate partners: The National Foundation for Australia-China Relations, King & Wood Mallesons, Tourism Australia, and Airwallex. Their contributions, including ongoing support and the provision of expert panel members and world-class venues, ensured delegates could engage in a program that inspired collaboration and strengthened professional networks across borders.
