Rork Projects is proud to announce the launch of a new annual event series, Constructive Conversations, bringing together industry experts to share their perspectives and insights for the year ahead.
Brisbane will kick off the Constructive Conversations series on the 11 February, with the Canberra, Sydney and Melbourne events to follow.
Rork Projects Managing Director, Brian O’Rourke said that the 2021 event series will explore the future of work in Australia, from both corporate and individual perspectives.
“The landscape has changed dramatically, and how individuals, businesses and our industry moves forward is still a topic of much discussion,” Mr O’Rourke said.
Being a business owner himself, Mr O’Rourke said that the events of the last 12 months have impacted us all differently and some have fared better than others.
“We’ve been very fortunate to experience growth across our company on a national scale through the COVID-19 pandemic, in part due to the critical role that construction has in stabilising our economy.
“We see Constructive Conversations a way to not only learn and prepare for 2021, but an opportunity to bring our industry together to celebrate a fresh year,” he said.
The event series kicks off in Brisbane this month, with a superstar line up of speakers:
