The Australia-UK Chamber of Commerce hosted over 160 young professionals at Australia House for an inspiring evening with Dan Labbad, Chief Executive of The Crown Estate.

Held in the iconic Exhibition Hall, the reception featured an interview with Dan as he shared insights on leadership, sustainability, resilience, and building long-term value in an evolving global environment. Drawing on his extensive experience across Australia, the UK, and beyond, Dan offered candid reflections and practical advice for the next generation of Australia-UK leaders.

The evening also marked a special milestone: the first Young Professionals event address by The Honourable Jay Weatherill AO, Australia's High Commissioner to the United Kingdom and newly appointed Patron of the Chamber.

The reception provided an excellent opportunity for young professionals to connect, network, and engage with one of the most influential Australian leaders operating in the UK today.

Our special thanks to Sarah Tayebi, Associate Director in Capital Markets at National Australia Bank, for her support on behalf of our event partner, and to Investment NSW for their partnership in making this wonderful event possible.
