CEO and Young Professionals Breakfast

This renowned annual event provides a perfect opportunity for CEOs from across the NSW public sector to further engage, recognise and foster the young talent within their organisation.

It also offers a platform to network across organisations, and to better understand the issues other young professionals and leaders are dealing with the current business and economic environment.

Each table of 10 at the CEO & YP Breakfast is hosted by a Director-General or Chief Executive, with nine of their Young Professional staff whom they wish to recognise and nurture as the leaders of tomorrow. A half table of 5 is available for smaller agencies.

Each breakfast has a unique theme, facilitated networking, and a keynote speaker.

About our keynote speaker

Annabel Crabb is one of Australia's most popular political commentators. With her unique style of writing and natural wit, Annabel provides distinctive observations and analysis in her reporting on political events of the day. She has been a journalist for more than 12 years, covering national politics for 10. Before she became a journalist, Annabel completed arts and law degrees at the University of Adelaide but decamped when a legal career threatened to become a reality.

Annabel undertook a cadetship at Adelaide's The Advertiser in 1997, and covered first state and then federal politics for the newspaper, relocating to The Advertiser's Canberra bureau in 1999.  She was hired by The Age in 2000, and worked as House On The Hill columnist and political correspondent before travelling to London in 2003 to work as London correspondent for the Sunday Age and Sun-Herald newspapers.

While she was in London she wrote a book, "Losing It: The Inside Story of the Labor Party in Opposition", published in 2005. The book explored the Australian Labor Party's opposition leaders Kim Beazley, Simon Crean and Mark Latham.

In 2007, she returned to Australia as a senior writer and political columnist for The Sydney Morning Herald. Annabel wrote a Quarterly Essay entitled "Stop At Nothing: The Life and Adventures of Malcolm Turnbull", which won a 2009 Walkley Award for best magazine feature writing. She left Fairfax in November 2009 to join the ABC as chief online political writer.

Annabel has worked extensively in radio and television as a political commentator, and has been a regular on the ABC's Insiders program since its inception in 2001.

She is interested in new platforms for political reporting, and has established a regular live "Twittercast" of parliamentary question time at the Twitter site @CrabbTwitsard, as well as regular commentary at @annabelcrabb.
