“I met many fascinating people through the Dialogue whom I am now working with or plan to work with in the future. The Dialogue gave me a platform to challenge myself, extend my own skills, knowledge and experience, and make connections that I would not have access to otherwise. The Pacific is vast, and the chance to reach out and connect with one another and think and converse differently on how we can address shared challenges is to be valued beyond measure.”

I believe Pacific Connect allows us to collaborate with like-minded emerging leaders, this is the answer to many challenges encountered by Pacific Islands countries over time, especially in terms of strengthening ‘Australia-Pacific Connections for a Digital Future’ through collaboration on projects and ongoing network activities.

“It has truly been a wonderful experience indeed for me to be invited to participate in this dialogue. The time spent together was invigorating, meeting likeminded and impactful women across the Pacific sharing experiences, insights, exchanging contacts and making connections. I just loved the energy in the dialogue room. What novel and moving stories from Anna and Julie. I am so, so deeply grateful to all the powerful women behind ICDP.”
