New Horizons Webinar

Join us for an exclusive New Horizons webinar featuring Ben Lisle, prominent Perth business leader and director at Hesperia, as he explores the disruptive potential of artificial intelligence through a distinctly local lens.

In a recent article in The West Australian, Ben observed that AI capabilities are accelerating rapidly with significant implications for society, economies, employment and investment that are likely to become evident in the coming decade.

This webinar builds on that article with a deeper dive into recent and coming advancements in AI and potential implications for the future of business and investment in Greater Perth.

The session will explore the challenges and opportunities Perth organisations must prepare for now and will also include an interactive Q&A, giving attendees the chance to engage directly with Ben and ask questions specific to their industries and interests.

Whether you’re an executive, entrepreneur, or policymaker, this session offers practical, Perth-focused insights to help you navigate the AI transformation. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from one of WA’s leading business voices on AI and its implications for our local economy.
