As our 15th Anniversary year comes to a close, Fellows and Friends of the Peter Cullen Trust will gather in Canberra from 13-15 November 2024 for three remarkable days of leadership, learning (and unlearning), networking, collaboration and celebration.

Many events are open to Fellows and Friends, some are Fellows Only and some by invitation; the 2024 Peter Cullen Lecture, to be delivered by Dr Jody Swirepik, is open to the public.

To streamline the booking process, we have set Graduation Week up conference style, with one Registration link (“The Lord of the Links”) that will allow individuals to choose the “sessions” they want to attend.

Note that individual Registration Codes to unlock eligible events have been shared via email. Please contact Linda at office@petercullentrust.com.au if you need assistance.
