NEXT PRACTICE EXCHANGE #001
WHAT ARE WE NOT SEEING?

There are questions we are all thinking about quietly.

Questions that sit beneath the headlines, the strategies and the conversations we have every day — but rarely have the time, space or people around the table to really explore.

NEXT PRACTICE EXCHANGE is a new conversation series for leaders, thinkers and change-makers.

For our first Exchange, we bring together three remarkable people from different worlds:

DR. SIMON BELL
Professor of Marketing, University of Melbourne
Brings a business lens.

SUE MASLIN AO
Film Producer and Filmmaker
Brings a cultural lens.

EARL CARTER
Photographer
Brings a visual lens.

Together, they will explore one deceptively simple question:

WHAT ARE WE NOT SEEING?

What might be hiding in plain sight?

What are we overlooking because we are too close to it?

And what becomes possible when we look again?

One question. Three perspectives. Countless possibilities.

This is not a conference.
It is not a panel designed to provide easy answers.

It is a room for thinking.

A breakfast conversation for people who are curious about what comes next — and willing to question what we already know.

Come with one question. Leave with another.

FRIDAY 9 OCTOBER 2026
8:00–9:30AM
SCULPTFORM DESIGN STUDIO
50 Queen Street, Melbourne

$60 per person — breakfast included.

Places are limited.

If you are a student, between careers, working in the not-for-profit sector, or simply someone for whom $60 is difficult right now, please get in touch, I don’t want money to be a barrier to being in the room.
