Title of the Talk - More Lives than your average Cat.
Des Tobin has crammed more lives into his 80 years than your average cat.

Des's signature guest speaker talk - More Lives than your average Cat - is filled with interesting stories, spiked with amusing anecdotes and carries positive and optimistic messages

A gender balanced world is now expected. Everyone has a part to play- all the time, everywhere. Join us to celebrate the achievements and be reminded of its absence.

Start the day at the Palladium for a scrumptious breakfast, network with clients and colleagues and hear from those who lead the way on gender balance and equity in Australia.
