The Australian Davos Connection is an organization to promote the World Economic Forum within Australia[2].
It hosts an annual Australian Leadership Retreat, a secretive conference of approximately 160 delegates from business, government, academia and politics "gathered to discuss the challenges facing Australia and the world"[3] and contribute to the process of setting the agenda.
Australian Leadership Retreat
The ADC Forum was founded in 1996, when it was named the Australian Davos Connection.[3]
The Australian Leadership Retreat "provides a forum for top-level discussion on a range of globally focused topics including: economics, management and finance; geopolitics; social and community issues; climate change and the environment; regional insights; technology, science and medicine."[4]
The ‘invitation only’ two and a half day Retreat brings together Federal Cabinet Ministers from Australia and Asia, State Premiers and Senior Ministers, Chief Executives from the top 100 companies in Australasia, senior government officials, leading international academics and other community leaders to discuss the key issues affecting the nation, the wider region, and the international community.[5]
The ADC Forum is Melbourne-based.[3] Its yearly Retreat on Hayman Island in Queensland is far more secretive than its Davos counterpart, and no list of participants is released, and it receives a minuscule amount of corporate media coverage. It is run under Chatham House rules.
The Retreat is an exclusive invitation-only event for people to contribute to the process of setting the agenda.[6]
People
People include the board and "International Faculty" of the ADC as of 2023,[7] which seems to mean people who have held speeches, plus some older board members.[8]
