What keeps you up at night?

That was the question guiding conversation at our second annual Gold Leaders Dinner, held at the extraordinary .

Executive leaders from our Gold Member and Board cohort came together to reflect on the opportunities and challenges shaping Perth’s future — from education and energy literacy, to media trust, Asian trading partnerships, Perth Airport’s $5+ billion expansion, and the role Committee for Perth plays as a trusted convener of these critical conversations.

The insights were generous, the discussion thoughtful, and the setting truly golden.

In a world where time is an increasingly precious resource, even more so than gold, we are deeply grateful to those who chose to spend an evening sharing their ideas, experience and ambition for Perth’s future.

’s Terracotta Warriors: Legacy of the First Emperor exhibition is exclusive in every sense of the word. With 90% of the objects on display never before seen in Australia – and some never having left China – we are incredibly fortunate to have this exhibition here in Perth, and even more so to have welcomed members to an exclusive viewing this morning.

Immersive digital experiences, extraordinary craftmanship of ancient China on display, and the fascinating journey through the life – and afterlife – of Qin Shihuang, make this exhibition unmissable.

With just 18 days left until the Terracotta Warriors return to China, run, don’t walk!
