Sports, Film & Fashion : The rise of soft power in Australia’s links with Asia

From tennis to football, film and fashion, Australia’s diverse cultural and sporting connections have a powerful impact on our most important international relationships. In a global world where people to people links matter more than ever before, blossoming cultural connections with Asia are a driving force for business, economic, tourism and community ties.

Australia is increasingly earning a reputation as a booming creative hub for the film, arts and entertainment industries, as well as a destination of choice for world class sporting venues and major events. The strength of the international education is also vital in enhancing Australia’s cultural influence in the region, with students, alumni and their family and friends all playing a role.

Join us for this interactive discussion on the rising importance of soft power and explore how you can contribute to the cultural fabric of these thriving and vibrant relationships.
