This July, we invite IML members and the broader leadership community in Newcastle, Hunter and surrounding areas for an engaging and inclusive session designed to reconnect and spark new momentum for the future. Whether you’re a long-time supporter or new to IML, this is a chance to revisit our shared purpose and reignite meaningful connections.
CEO of IML ANZ Sam Bell FIML will reflect on IML’s journey—its mission, vision, and unique role in supporting leaders not just through networking, but through mentoring, peer learning, and practical tools for real-world leadership challenges. Breakout discussions will be guided by focused questions to ensure every voice contributes, helping us gather insights and actionable ideas to shape what comes next.
Come ready to share, listen, and collaborate as we rebuild connections and reaffirm IML’s presence and value in this region.
