The next decade starts at your table: Why you should book a table at the AEDA Leaders Forum 2026

Last updated 27 Oct, 2026

The future of your business won’t be shaped by one person alone. So why tackle the next decade’s biggest challenges alone?

The AEDA Leaders Forum 2026 brings together senior leaders to explore the forces shaping Adelaide’s economic future. For organisations looking to get their leadership teams in the room, booking a table of ten offers more than a seat at the event. It’s an opportunity to think differently, together.

Here are five reasons to bring your team along.

Make time for strategic thinking

Day-to-day demands can leave little room to look beyond immediate priorities. Set aside an afternoon to step back, challenge assumptions, and consider what the next decade could hold for your organisation.

Get everyone on the same page

When your leadership team explores future scenarios together, you can compare perspectives, identify shared priorities and build a stronger foundation for strategic decisions.

Put your strategy to the test

From AI and workforce changes to global investment and geopolitical uncertainty, explore how different futures could affect your organisation and where new risks or opportunities might emerge.

As Dexter Docherty explains in his recent InDaily article, Beyond the five-year plan: Why business leaders need to prepare for multiple futures, strategic foresight helps leaders look beyond business as usual and prepare for a range of possible futures.
