Redefining Futures: Impact at the intersection of inclusion and innovation

Imagine... A polymath, adaptation and innovation expert, a humanitarian capitalist, a social innovator playing at the edge of complexity, and a global leader in creativity in the same room, on the same stage sharing knowledge, wisdom and provocations with you to demystify the power of technology, human-centred design and inclusion - throw in a little AI to boot! 

Welcome to Redefining Futures – where the horizon of possibility expands exponentially at the crossroads of inclusion and innovation. 

Join us for an unforgettable breakfast experience where transformative dialogue, diverse thought, lived experience and responsible AI converge, inviting you on a journey of discovery and inspiration for social impact both within and outside of the workplace.

Redefining Futures brings together global thought leaders, frontier practitioners and social innovators harnessing the power of inclusion, diversity and technology to drive powerful innovation that is just as applicable in your day-to-day as it is to the tech giants of the world.  

You'll learn all about the innovative work of Banksia Impact and Academy driving inclusion for women facing barriers to employment, and you'll be supercharged with learning to accelerate your own creativity and innovation. 

Proudly hosted by Macquarie Foundation. Supported by Scriibed, Mykel Dixon, The Dream Collective and Remi Beauty.

Mykel Dixon

Myke's work lives at the intersection of creativity, culture and consciousness. It is fuel for those who are committed to evolving business from transactional to transcendent, from self-serving to self-actualising, from competition to co-creation and beyond. A musician by trade, gypsy by nature, fierce non-conformist and prolific anti-perfectionist, Myke leads a new wave of conscious, creative business leaders who strive to make work feel more like play, teams feel more like family, and organisations feel more like festivals of possibility.

Kat Dunn

Kat's inter-disciplinary background across corporate law (Clayton Utz), ASX financial services (Perpetual Limited) and as the CEO of Grameen Australia (the local replication of Nobel Peace Prize winning microfinance inventor Grameen Bank), has given her a unique top-down and bottom-up view of how systems must be organised to better serve society and planet.

Murali believes in regenerative, inclusive and humane value creation and achieves this in his work by creating environments that support meaningful behavioural change for individuals, teams and organisations.
