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.
We also thank and highly value our supporting partners: The Australian Consulate, AustCham, KCW&A, KPMG, JoJ’s Riverside, ROUSE, WeRide, Swisse, Pran Wines, Penfolds, The Happy Monk, Fortescue, Steinway & Sons, 84 History Art Gallery and the ACBC. The contribution of each and every partner enriched the experience and quality of collaboration and connection.
Our partners empower the Dialogue to go beyond discussion, creating a platform for people to people connections. By bringing together diverse voices from business, government, trade, education and academia, The ACYD continues to drive mutual understanding in an increasingly interconnectedness between our countries. This would not have been possible with our partners:
