Geoff shares why he continues to engage with ADAPT’s events, valuing their quality and networking opportunities.
1 MIN Geoff Purcell Former CDO James Cook University

“It’s a real combination of values.

The quality of the presentations stood out, especially Peter Weill, whom I’ve followed for over 20 years. His research and audience engagement are always top-tier.

I also appreciate that ADAPT makes most materials available after the event, so I don’t have to capture everything in the moment.

The networking was great too—I reconnected with two former employees and met many new people during the networking drinks.

And, of course, I always enjoy returning to Melbourne, my hometown.”

 " I’ve always been impressed with the quality of the research... and the materials available to attendees.""
