Game Changers: in conversation with Dr Dimity Dornan AO

Facilitated by Professor Peter Little, Deputy Vice Chancellor, QUT, the Game Changers series brings innovation leaders from business, technology, and creative industries to share their insights with aspiring Queensland entrepreneurs. This is your chance to ask how local entrepreneurs and business leaders build companies, reinvent themselves generation after generation, inspire teams, and envision success.
