FESPA Australia Announce Candidates for the 2024 Future Leaders Program

FESPA Future Leaders Class of 2023

FESPA Australia has announced the successful 2024 FESPA Future Leaders Program candidates.  Now in its third year, the program further develops the leadership skills of experienced industry professionals in a two-day workshop facilitated by Carl Harman.

Nigel Davies, President of FESPA Australia, says, 'We have three objectives with this program. Our first is to develop the participants' leadership skills using world-class coaching techniques normally accessible to leading executives. The second was to seed networking and relationships between diverse leaders by here and internationally. The final was to give the participants a deeper understanding of our industry and the opportunity to contribute to the debate on key issues facing our industry. We are proud of our success so far and welcome the 2024 cohort"

The leadership program immediately precedes the FESPA Annual Conference on 25 October at the Shangri-La Hotel in Sydney. The conference has proved an excellent platform for leaders to participate and express their ideas on themes such sustainability and youth engagement.

A key benefit to participants is the opportunity for two of the cohort to represent FESPA Australia at FESPA Berlin in May next year. With 37 National Associations in the FESPA community, they will gain new connections with industry experts across the world.

The program is made possible by the generous support of Diamond Sponsor Orafol, Durst, Visual Connections as Gold Sponsors, Cactus Imaging, IVE Group and HEXIS, Silver Sponsors, HVG Graphics Media, Pozitive, Ball & Doggett, Kissel & Wolf, and Mimaki as Bronze Sponsors.
