Event Details

GSB alumni and their guests are warmly invited to the Stanford Australia Association's Annual Dinner. As is the case every year, the annual dinner is a great opportunity to catch up with Stanford alums you know and get to know others whom you may not have had the opportunity to meet.

The format of the evening is pre-dinner drinks and aperitifs, followed by a short AGM for the Stanford Australia Foundation and the Stanford Australian Association (15 minutes), the keynote presentation and dinner. Gail Kelly is this year's keynote speaker, and she will be interviewed by leading journalist Janine Perrett.
