Don’t miss this candid discussion with one of Australia’s most successful – and most scrutinised – business leaders, the former CEO of Qantas: tinyurl.com/487wr8pr
Alan Joyce guided the airline through some extraordinary global events – from the Global Financial Crisis and bitter industrial disputes to the unprecedented disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Joyce will reflect on the experiences that shaped him as a leader, offers his own perspective on the defining moments of his career and explores the lessons learned through both success and controversy.
Watch one of India’s most celebrated writers Amitav Ghosh as he explores rebirth, regeneration and the cycles of life with host Sreedhevi Iyer. With a career effortlessly spanning fiction, non-fiction and reportage, his work is characterised by big picture thinking with an unwavering drive to bring the climate crisis into stark focus.
In an era of doomscrolling and brain-fog, we're fighting back against the algorithms. The anti-rot agenda seeks to de-clutter our minds, tap into our inner creativity and to live mindfully.
At The Wheeler Centre, we're continuously creating space to discuss books and current affairs, highlight Australian writers and bring different communities together. We believe books are for everyone. That is why we're doing our best to make our events and programs as accessible as possible for all socioeconomic backgrounds.

Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales as he discusses the importance of trust in our online and offline communities and how Wikipedia evolved into one of the internet’s most reputable sources of information.
At The Wheeler Centre, our mission is simple: to create spaces for brave, respectful conversations – something that feels especially urgent right now.
Over 15 years, we have positioned Melbourne as a global destination for writers and thinkers, delivering the kind of conversations that can’t be found elsewhere. And now, you can help us sustain our ambitious programming and help it reach more people.
