The United Nations Association of Australia (UNAA) invites government leaders, international development workers, business leaders and community groups to attend its two-day Forum on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

This event is designed to be outcome-orientated and will focus on building secure partnerships between Australian organisations and United Nations (UN) agencies. It will also provide opportunities to learn about the UN system, careers and leadership, as well as meeting like-minded individuals.
Speakers include:
- Greg Vines. Deputy Director-General, of the International Labour Organisation (ILO)
- Louise Aubin. UNHCR Regional Representative
