The Lifting Equipment Engineers Association (Leea) has announced a programme of featured presentations for LiftEx Australia, the future-focused conference taking place at the Australian National Maritime Museum in Sydney on 24-25 May 2023.
The conference’s keynote speech will be delivered by Charles Brass, a futurist from the Futures Foundation Australia. In ‘How to think like a futurist – and why this matters to you’, Brass will get attendees thinking of ways to navigate change and uncertainty by providing the tools to help explore alternative potential futures.
In ‘Thrive with change’, mindset and behaviour expert Alison Earl will suggest that the power of mindset to adapt readily and overcome the burnout epidemic is something that must be addressed. With practical strategies to boost resilience and mental toughness, Earl will give attendees a new understanding of how stress isn’t always bad and how to get people to thrive.
Federica Gargiuli, principal consultant at Talent Supply, will ask in ‘Disrupting the traditional recruitment model: strategies for success’: where did all the people go? Lifting is not the only industry facing a people shortage, and Gargiuli will give tangible and practical strategies companies can use to attract and engage new talent, from Generation Z and beyond.
Brett Cowell, founding partner and director of Cowell Clarke, will give practical tools to help shape the future of businesses, in ‘Making the most of your business opportunities today’, while Rose Read, director at the Product Stewardship Centre of Excellence, will discuss new thinking in the recycling and re-use space, and will be explaining how the centre is assisting major firms and industries address waste challenges through mentoring, educating and activating stakeholders across product and material supply chains. Read’s talk is called ‘Sustainability: owning the lifecycle of products’.
Leea will also be making a series of announcements at LiftEx Australia. This will include a major announcement that will deliver on something association members have been requesting for a long time and promises to change the landscape for them and technicians into the future. Those in the room will have privileged first access to this news, giving them a chance to gain a head start over competitors.
Speaking about LiftEx Australia, Justin Boehm, regional manager – Australia & New Zealand at Leea, said: “This is the first opportunity I’ve had to welcome the industry to a Leea event for a long time and we’ve gone above and beyond to bring something out of the ordinary, memorable and great. We are organising this event for our members, to ensure you leave motivated, with more knowledge, and are excited by what we are achieving for the Lifting Industry.”
Leea is a representative body for all those involved in the lifting industry worldwide, from design, manufacture, refurbishment and repair, through to the hire, maintenance and use of lifting equipment.
