We are pleased to invite you to the 2026 PRME Australia and New Zealand Chapter Forum, hosted by La Trobe Business School on Wednesday, 25 November 2026, 9:00am – 2:00 pm.
Are you please able to circulate this invitation to your colleagues? While the ‘M’ in PRME is ‘Management’, PRME caters to ALL Business disciplines
This annual forum brings together academics, PhD scholars, students, and practitioners engaged in responsible business education, sustainability, research, engagement, and impact across Australia and New Zealand. The day provides a valuable opportunity to connect with colleagues, share innovations and challenges, and contribute to shaping the future direction of the PRME ANZ Chapter.
To support participation from across our region, the forum will be offered in a hybrid format, with both in-person and online attendance options available.
The timing of the forum has been selected to align conveniently with the ANZQAN and ABDC conferences for those attending these events.
