In our fourth Ask the Experts webinar, we brought together leading specialists to discuss the economy and a question many people are asking – what will Australia look like in 2021 and beyond.

You can view the webinar here.

Hosted by mental health advocate and storyteller Brad McEwan, our experienced panel of experts included Economist Beatrice Yeo, from Vanguard Strategy Investment Group, Futurist Tomas Haffenden from VERSA Agency and our own Senior Advisor Dan Testa. 

Our panellists talked about the future of the economy in Australia in 2021 and beyond, states and industries opening up, the end of Job Keeper and how the economy will react, along with fascinating tech insights and key trends relating to human behaviour, algorithmic commerce and interactive voice response.
