competition, consumer trust and australia's next wave of market reform

Markets are entering a new era of scrutiny.

Artificial intelligence, digital platforms and shifting consumer expectations are changing how businesses compete, innovate and grow - and governments are redrawing the rules of fair competition, market power and consumer trust in real time. For multinationals operating in Australia, regulation has moved off the compliance register and onto the leadership agenda. It now shapes what you can buy, how you price, what you can claim, and how quickly you can move.

Gina Cass-Gottlieb joins the Abundium community for an intimate fireside chat with our co-founder & CEO, Rich Hirst. As the first female Chair of the ACCC - and of its predecessor, the Trade Practices Commission, since its establishment in 1974 - Gina is steering the Commission through the most significant period of regulatory and market reform in decades.

Over the hour, Rich will draw out Gina's perspective on the forces reshaping Australia's competitive landscape, the ACCC's priorities for the years ahead, and how leaders can keep investing and innovating while the ground shifts beneath them.
