Our monthly Lunch & Learn sessions are designed to provide access to speakers you otherwise wouldn't get a chance to hear from, on a range of topics, in an informal way.

These exclusive member-only events are designed to bring our speakers to a broader audience – we recognise that not everyone can attend our live events, due to location or budgetary limitations, but that doesn’t mean you should miss out!

This session will explore the transformative power of proxy voting, highlighting how shareholders can influence company decisions. Attendees will learn how proxy voting has been leveraged in recent years to drive significant corporate changes, including record opposition votes in 2023, the impact of activist investors and their "vote no" campaigns, and key votes on climate issues.

Featuring prominent examples from the Australian market, we will illustrate the evolving role of proxy voting in corporate governance.
