The breakfast forum and follow-on master classes have been developed in conjunction with the AGSM at the University of New South Wales Business School and represents a new type of collaboration between enterprise and education.
Wesley Toms from the AGSM@UNSW Business School says: "Having attended Accelerate last year - where I was particularly impressed with the ‘event with a difference’ approach – getting to collaborate on this year’s program seems to have really hit the mark for our enterprise clients and graduate students. It is a strong imperative for AGSM to forge new learning pathways for a next generation of digital leaders – across a spectrum of new courses and initiatives this year."
