Our 2023 Industry Open Day was held on 21 September 2023 at Callaghan Campus, bringing together industry and community partners to explore the issues and opportunities shaping the future of our Hunter region.
The event showcased our commitment to driving regional development and fostering meaningful partnerships through a dynamic program of professional development sessions, facility tours, and networking opportunities.
Highlights included:
