Conference keynote speaker, Loren Rodgers, CEO, National Centre for Employee Ownership (US), has generously donated more of his time in Australia to the employee ownership community. Loren will lead a panel discussion after a free screening of the ‘We the Owners’ documentary in Melbourne on Tuesday, 21 May, 5:30-8:30pm.

The film shows the daily life of three US employee-owned businesses as they take important decisions on business expansion, succession plans, hiring and layoffs.

We invite you to take advantage of this opportunity to further engage with Loren while he is in Australia. The film will be screened in the Elisabeth Murdoch Theatre at the University of Melbourne. Book online to attend the screening.
