Hi There

 

The ASFA Conference last week was amazing - so many great speakers and sessions! Here is the link to the conference sessions for attendees - don't forget to watch our lively discussion re menopause. We even managed a few jokes...

 

Last night we had our PDS Managers round table hybrid event in conjunction with our friends at Parity Consulting. We had a candid discussion around 'how to have a successful career in product management' with guest speakers - Victoria Butt, Amna Khan and Tristan Reis-Freeman. If you are interested in joining our next round table discussion, reach out to Katie.

 

And just when you thought we were wrapping up our events for 2024, we have two more webinars in December - our ASFA NSW Legs&Regs on Monday, 9 December at 1pm and our CREW webinar on Tuesday, 10 December also at 1pm - details below and hope to see you online!

 

Cheers

Sarah
