    • 7 May 2025
    • 6:00 PM
    • Polish Club Brisbane, CQU Campus Sydney or online


    The Polish Australian Chamber of Commerce: Education& Research Chapter invites you to our FREE monthly seminar


    Join us for an engaging evening of learning, conversation, and connection as we showcase academic and professional expertise, explore fresh perspectives, and foster meaningful collaboration across sectors and continents.


    In May, we dive into two fascinating and timely topics:

    • How businesses can evolve beyond profit-driven models to become powerful forces for social cohesion
    • Urban planning from the unique lens of a practitioner who balances academic insight with real-world impact

    Guest Speakers:
    Prof. Betina Szkudlarek – University of Sydney Business School
    Strategic Sustainability and Growth Consultant, United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC). Betina will introduce us to a transformative stream of research that explores how businesses can become bridge-builders in increasingly divided societies. Drawing on her global work, she’ll challenge the notion of objective judgment and invite us to reflect on how cultural backgrounds shape our perceptions. Expect a thought-provoking session on social cohesion, diversity of interpretation, and the evolving role of business in society.


    Dr. Matt Zenkteler– Urban Planner & Academic, Bond University and Tweed Shire Council. Matt is a true “pracademic,” uniquely positioned at the intersection of theory and practice. He will discuss how he bridges his academic work with practical urban planning through his role at Tweed Shire Council. Gain insight into the challenges and opportunities of shaping cities with both academic knowledge and on-the-ground realities.

    • Ludlow Bar & Dining Room, 6 Riverside Quay Southbank

    You are warmly invited to  'An Afternoon with PACC' — a special gathering in observance of the 2025 Polish Presidential Election.

    Join us for a lively afternoon as we reflect on the election’s key themes and explore its potential implications for Poland’s economic and foreign policy, particularly in relation to Australia and our region.

    Since our founding in 2015, PACC has proudly upheld an apolitical stance, committed to supporting democratic values and fostering Polish-Australian economic and cultural ties. This event celebrates Poland’s democratic progress and the enduring spirit of our diaspora, whose engagement shapes not only Poland’s future but strengthens our community abroad.

    Over casual drinks and food, we invite you to connect, share perspectives, and consider what this pivotal election may mean for the Polish and Australian economic landscapes.

    When: Saturday, 17 May, 3:00 PM

    Where: Ludlow Bar & Dining Room, 6 Riverside Quay Southbank

    RSVP: via email to events@pabf.com.au

    We look forward to welcoming you for an afternoon of thoughtful conversation and community spirit!
