A collection of the most influential and interesting livestreams from the CEDA platform throughout 2020.
13/12/2020
We have selected the most important and insightful conversations held on CEDA’s platforms this year – both digital and face-to-face – for CEDA’s Top 10 Digital Discussions 2020.
In 2020, CEDA delivered a compelling and timely program of events in-person and by livestream as we shifted to new digital formats due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
We presented more than 170 events this year, making the task of selecting our annual Top 10 a tough one.
The conversations in this year’s Top 10 naturally reflect the policy issues raised by the COVID-19 health and economic crises, ranging from managing the recession to powering the recovery, supporting mental health during the pandemic, adopting technology in the public interest and the future of higher education.
Audiences heard from leaders in politics, business, academia and the community sector on their priorities for the recovery and future growth of the nation.
We would like to thank all the speakers who took to CEDA’s platforms in 2020 and contributed to the breadth and depth of conversations we delivered. We also thank the members who sponsored the events, and in doing so helped us to continue fostering important discussions around Australia.
