The Brisbane Cove Conference was held 27-30 Apr 2021 on the theme of Knowing yourself and others as a leader. The Cove team thanks all those who either contributed articles, or organised or participated in the conference. You will find all the information related to the conference and theme here.

As a reminder, The Cove are engaging in specific themes in a condensed period of time as this will allow for a breadth and depth of perspectives on a single topic to be presented at once. Ultimately, this may lead to better connection and appreciation of shared ideas and space for dialogue on a single theme.
