Agenda 2025 is Australia's first conference dedicated to reducing the reach and impact of age discrimination in the workplace. Agenda 2025 is dedicated to addressing and reducing age discrimination in the workplace. The event brings together industry leaders, policymakers, economists, and advocates to tackle the pervasive issue of age discrimination.
The conference will feature keynote speakers, expert-led panel discussions, and thought-provoking sessions aimed at identifying the root causes of age discrimination and developing actionable strategies to create more inclusive and equitable work environments.
