March Debate Club presents: 4-Day Work Weeks Are More Productive

Can working fewer days lead to greater productivity, or is the traditional 5-day work week still the best model for success? In this debate, two teams will go head-to-head, with one side arguing that a 4-day work week increases efficiency, boosts well-being, and prevents burnout, while the opposition defends the 5-day structure as essential for output, collaboration, and business growth.

Expect discussions on employee performance, economic impact, and whether shorter work weeks truly drive innovation—or just shift the workload. A judging panel will pick the winner, but the audience gets to vote for their favorite argument. Get ready for a fast-paced, thought-provoking battle of ideas!

Debate Club – A Space for Bold Ideas & Thought Leadership

Supported by the IAB, Debate Club is a fun, social event where people come together to practice presentation skills, debate hot topics, and engage in meaningful conversations—all in a safe and welcoming space. Our mission is to spark discussions that drive thought leadership, innovation, and professional growth.

If you're interested in exploring some of the biggest topics shaping our industry while connecting with a diverse network of professionals, this event is for you!

As part of our evolution, we’ve started running our own events independently of sponsorship—allowing us to dive into a broader range of topics and host debates more frequently for our passionate community.

Debate Club is a not-for-profit initiative, and we believe great conversations are even better with good food and drinks. To help cover event costs, we ask for a small contribution—ensuring each gathering remains engaging, inclusive, and accessible.

Agenda:

18:00 - 18:30 Arrival, meet & greet
18:30 - 18:40 Opening
18:40 - 19:40 Structured debate
19:40 - social drinks & snacks

Building Access

Access to Talent International is via The Galleries, with entrances from Park Street or Pitt Street. Our team will be in the foyer to welcome guests and assist with the lifts.

Please arrive on time, as we won’t have anyone downstairs after the event starts at 18:30.
