I would like to share with members the story and success of Convention 2014, our bold new initiative to lead: Our Voice, Our Future. Our first convention, held over five inspiring days, is being remembered as a world-class event and a wonderful success on many fronts. It showcased our profession in a more profound way than ever before. The many delegates that I spoke to said that they were proud and excited to see Engineers Australia lead with such a 'disruptive' event. I especially liked what former deputy prime minister Tim Fischer said in his keynote address. "We have been pointed in the direction of change by engineers ... engineers have set the template for this great country and engineers think with the future in mind."
