ACT 2020 Summit

The ACT Government have sent out details of their Canberra summit., as one of the Australian Government local 2020 summits. The name of the event has been changed from the ">Canberra Summit", to the "ACT 2020 Summit". Unfortunately there appears to be no web page for the event (unlike the Open 2020 Summit I am co-charing). Here is the program I was sent:
