AIME also welcomes back the always humorous John Lees as consummate master of ceremonies for the morning.
Home-grown talent does not end there: the audience will be treated to the sheer virtuosity of master drummer David Jones, mind-blowing illusion with Cosentino of Australia’s Got Talentfame, an entertaining and fascinating mathematical presentation from Lily Serna of SBS’sLetters and Numbers, the inspiration and creativity of photojournalist Michael Coyne; and the truly unique vocal talents of Mr Percival.

Meredith presents a mix of big picture trends in economics and geopolitics with views to make better business decisions;

It is this synergy that makes the Saxton Ultimate Event Experience such a feature in Australia”.
