Past generationYOU events
Call us biased, but one of the best parts of generationYOU is our events, where you get the chance to learn from awesome industry legends, build your career skills and meet like-minded students who are passionate about unleashing their potential.
We've hosted our generationYOU events right across Australia - in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. Whilst there are many different versions - they all have the same goal: to bring together young people who are invested in their future and help them stand out of the crowd!

Imagine the high-fives we gave each other when we realised that over 4,000 young people had attended our events, to hear from over 100 speakers! The beauty of generationYOU events, is that you never know who you're going to meet, what University or Tafe they're from and what they're studying.
It's the perfect opportunity to make new contacts, hear the study and career journey's of your peers and learn a little something (or two) along the way from some epic industry speakers.

The generationYOU experience was highly valuable! It provided insight into future direction for my career progression an was a wonderful way of practicing networking techniques in a positive space.
James Christie
Simple, power-packed and practical. #NoFilter content was absolutely amazing because I am a sucker for real, raw information from people who've gotten their hands dirty and aren't afraid to share their experiences.
Dora Dias
I left the generationYOU event feeling very confident and excited about my future career, because I had been given the tools to shape that future.
Benedict Okonjo
I’ve watched a lot of TedX Talks, and read a lot of self development books, but nothing beats actually being in a positive and uplifting space in which people share not only the good parts of their stories, but also reveal some level of vulnerability which you can’t really get from staring through the silver screen.
