Drinks with Paula Conboy & Alistair Parker

Melbourne Forum connects members who are curious and interested in the big issues that affect our future. So, it is no surprise that energy, climate change and sustainability have been regular themes across our events and topics that attract a lot of interest.

Members and guests heard from two recognised global experts in energy and energy transition at our Members' Drinks last week. Paula Conboy, NACD.DC GAICD Conboy, a board director in the US, Singapore and Canada energy sectors and a member of the current Nelson Review of the National Energy Market, and Alistair Parker, CEO of VicGrid, joined us as conversation leaders to share their insights into the future of energy.

Energy is a topic of much discussion in the media, amongst our politicians and our membership - critical to everyday life and business prosperity. Whilst complex, it is also heavily contested. The evening provided an opportunity for a very engaging and wide-ranging discussion on the mix of energy sources, the progress of the transition to renewable sources and some of the contemporary issues in the sector.
