Location

Located near St Kilda and the Chapel Street precincts, the Pullman & Mercure Melbourne Albert Park is an upscale hotel overlooking picturesque Albert Park Lake, home to the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix. From here, it’s just moments to the top tourist attractions and activities in Melbourne.

I left feeling inspired. Hearing so many of the speakers passionate about the roles they play across their organisations and the love and support they have for the teams
they work alongside truly rubbed off.
