45th AKBC-KABC Joint Meeting Gala Dinner

Monday 2 September

Immediately following the 45th AKBC-KABC Joint Meeting, we invite you to extend the day's conversations into the evening at our exclusive Gala Dinner, held at the prestigious Crown Perth. This year, the dinner will also commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Korea-Australia Free Trade Agreement (KAFTA), celebrating a decade of strengthened economic ties and cooperation. This event not only offers an evening of refined entertainment and gourmet dining but also serves as an ideal platform to discuss insights and ideas gleaned through the course of the day's sessions. Diverging from the Joint Meeting, which is only open to members, the Gala Dinner welcomes both AKBC members and non-members, offering a unique opportunity for non-members to engage with the network of business leaders and influencers from the Australia-Korea community. 

The Gala Dinner provides an invaluable opportunity for attendees to network with prominent figures from both nations strengthening existing ties and establishing new connections within an atmosphere of mutual respect and shared aspirations. As we wrap up the meaningful dialogue from the 45th AKBC-KABC Joint Meeting, the Gala Dinner emerges as a crucial occasion to reflect on our discussions, forge connections, and chart the future partnership between Australia and Korea. We look forward to welcoming you to a night that is fun, meaningful, and that has a few surprises, all set against the sophisticated and charming backdrop of Crown Perth.
