Ep.16 Update & highlights from last 3 weeks

This episode is an update & apology for skipping 2 weeks of podcast episodes!   I made it 15 weeks in a row of new weekly episodes. But a range of professional events have occurred post-covid restrictions which has meant I needed to have a short break from podcasting.   Good news is I’m now back for the rest of this season, with only a few more episodes left until it’s a wrap on season 1!   In this episode, I share my highlights from 2 key professional events I attended in recent weeks: 1. the 2021 Planning institute of Australia qld conference held on Sunshine Coast in late October, including presentations from: - Lucy Turnbull AO (former Lord Mayor Sydney, greater western Sydney commission, & wife of former PM Malcolm Turnbull) - Kerry Doss (State planner, DSDILGP)  - Sara Golingi & Jaime Traspaderne (Arup) - Judge Fleur Kinghom & Dr Sharon Harwood - Ben Johnston (futurist - metaverse, 2 realms, digital influencers etc) 2. PIA Qld awards for excellence  - list of the award winners for the categories. I also ask for your input as I plan season 2 of the podcast in 2022. I’m open to any suggestions for topics/ guests.  And I announce the guest I’ll be interviewing this week!    Its a shorter 20 min episode. Hope you enjoy it!
