Malcolm Turnbull and Mike Cannon-Brookes to Headline

National Smart Energy Summit, Sydney, Tuesday

Former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and billionaire investor and renewables champion, Mike Cannon-Brookes, will be the keynote speakers at Australia’s biggest ever renewable energy summit at the Sydney Hilton Hotel on 10 December.

They will join leading Australian businesses, renewable energy industry CEOs and opinion leaders in showing how and why major Australian companies are embracing renewables and taking action on climate change.

Companies with a collective market capital and assets under management of $300 billion will tell the Summit they are investing in renewables not just because they want to decarbonise their energy but because they see renewables as a huge business opportunity.
