Critical Horizons – Powering the Future of WA

Critical Horizons is more than a conference. It’s the place to talk about tomorrow, today. By encouraging people to “look over the horizon” and consider how global trends could impact on regional areas, the series aims to help prepare people for what the coming years and decades might hold. By being better equipped for challenges and prepared to take advantage of opportunities, we can help create our own bright futures.
