There is an old Chinese saying: 千里之行始于足下 “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”
Life is a journey, not a destination. It is not where we end up, but how we get there. Although this journey may not always be easy, it is not to be feared. Made of many steps, steep climbs and flat plateaus, all journeys often lead to a sense of self-discovery.
Australia’s evolution into one of the world’s most multicultural countries has been a journey. A journey that spans the world’s oldest cultures to a citizenry that now identifies with more than 270 ancestries. This rich, cultural diversity is one of our greatest strengths. It is central to our national identity. The Chinese Australian community has been ever present for over 200 years.
In February 2019, we successfully launched Hurun Report in Australia in association with our title sponsor PwC Australia. Since then, we have connected over 1,000 community leaders in business, art/culture and philanthropy - the three important pillars of our brand DNA. Our annual events are carefully curated to bring together innovative, successful and dynamic people like yourself, who share similar values and believes, to join us on this journey; to explore and to empower.
Today, marks a new beginning, a watershed moment.
We will be celebrating this new beginning in Sydney and Melbourne. A total of 5 bespoke events starting in April with the Hurun Sydney Gala Dinner, August - Hurun Melbourne Gala Dinner, both galas connecting influential and insightful business leaders; October - the Hurun Art Exhibition connecting cultures and the Hurun Business Forum providing the latest insights on market, global business and investment trends; all culminating in November with a Tourism Event showcasing the best Australia has to offer to the world. A total of over 1,500 special attendees are taking part in this incredible journey.
Hurun Report is non-governmental, non-political and 100% community based. To organise events like this requires a significant amount of resources. We are so grateful for the support, friendship and love from our generous sponsors and partners. They are instrumental in making all of these amazing events happen!
On behalf of my entire team at Hurun Report, PwC Australia, all of our sponsors and partners, welcome to Hurun & PwC Australia’s 2021 Events!
We are excited to have you with us, to reconnect and re-engage, to dream of new horizons, and realise a brighter future, together!
