PIR (Policy-Influence-Reform) Forum

Once a year Ai Group hosts a two-day conference in Canberra for HR professionals who are members of our exclusive PIR (Policy-Influence-Reform) Group. These PIR conferences are "don't miss" events. Conference participants can hear from Government ministers, opposition and regulators on current issues as well get the latest updates from experts in employment law, IR, HR, skills development and economics. 

The PIR conferences manage to strike just the right balance between formal presentations, interactive workshop and networking sessions with high profile guest speakers. Members of PIR pay a separate annual fee which entitles them to attend these conferences at very competitive rates.
