Every seven years, the Mannkal Foundation has ‘curated’ a Western Civilization style conference.
This year’s 2024 conference was by far the most successful with 520 attending the venue of The Esplanade Hotel, Fremantle. A resounding ‘three cheers’ to the inspirational and tireless Becky Clough as Conference Chairman.
The unanimous indication, during the closing session was that all those in attendance were keen for this event to be repeated. Immediate steps are being taken to arrange a regular quarterly event, along this same theme. This will be an evening-type event, centrally located, to enable all those with daily work commitments to fully participate. This will, in effect, enable all of this ‘team of 520’ to maintain contact.
