Road to Sydney 3/3 – Second Session (15h BST)

A High-Impact Programme for Future Leaders and Forward-Thinking Firms

Road to Sydney is an immersive programme designed to develop the next generation of leaders while helping firms unlock Employee Experience as a powerful driver of growth.

Built for Today’s Firm Environment

Across three dynamic webinars, participants explore a practical five-pillar framework—Attract, Embed, Enable, Reward, and Sustain—and get to present their ideas and NextGen perspectives on how to tackle the real challenges facing mid-tier firms today, from talent shortages and burnout risk to evolving expectations around flexibility, progression, and purpose.

Real-World Learning with Immediate Impact

Working in international teams, participants will:

• Diagnose gaps Develop modern options for developing a firms employee experience
• Redesign critical touchpoints across the employee lifecycle as automation and AI impact. 
• Build commercially grounded solutions that improve retention, engagement, and profitability

Firms benefit from their next genners having explored fresh peer group thinking, practical ideas, and globally informed perspectives that can be applied immediately.

Shaping the Future of Careers in Your Firm

As the programme progresses, the focus shifts from quick wins to reimagining career pathways, ownership models, and long-term employee value propositions helping firms create a compelling future for their people.

Compete, Present, and Gain Global Recognition

The programme culminates in a final presentation to a panel of judges, where teams showcase their strategies—competing for an expenses-paid trip to the AGN 2026 World Congress in Sydney and the opportunity to present on a global stage.
