Daimler Future Leaders

    Posted On: Wednesday, 14 March 2018

    If you want to succeed in business, regardless of industry, you need to talk to your peers and learn from their experiences. You can gather invaluable information from these interactions that can then be applied to your business to make better decisions in the future. The Australian Trucking Association (ATA) and Daimler Truck and Bus Australia Pacific are the forces behind the 2018 Daimler Truck and Bus Future Leaders’ Forum. The forum offers an excellent opportunity to hear from industry leaders and apply their philosophies within your own organization.

    The event takes place on 27-28 March 2018 in Canberra, and one of the main goals of the forum is to help explain the role that businesses and trucking associations can have an impact on crafting government policy. In addition to hearing from fellow leaders, attendees will also take advantage of programs from Wisdom Learning, which is operates out of Canberra and focuses specifically on leadership training. The ATA and Daimler Truck and Bus Australia Pacific used this opportunity to also announce who would be attending the forum as well as what role they play at their own companies and in the industry as a whole.

    Below is a list of the 2018 Daimler Future Leaders. Leader biographies are available on the ATA website.
