Where Influence Is Built: The Power of Gathering

19 Dec

Written By Kristine Niven I Executive Assistant

Throughout history, the most powerful shifts haven’t happened in isolation - they’ve happened when people gathered.

From ancient forums to modern summits, from campfires to parliaments, gatherings have always sparked connection, ideas, influence, and change. Next year, we honour that legacy in the most fitting place of all - our nation’s capital.

Following our inaugural Gathering at The Scots College, Sydney, it is my pleasure to introduce The Gathering 2: The Sequel.

This unique professional learning event brings Executive Assistants from across Australia to Radford College, Canberra for a day designed to help you:

Connect — with peers who understand your work, challenges, and impact
Grow — through powerful speakers and practical learning
Belong — to a network shaping the future of EA leadership

Our 2026 theme, Build Your Capital: The EA as Influencer, recognises that influence isn’t accidental. It is built through social, political, and relational capital — the strengths that make EAs indispensable.

And what better place to explore capital in all its forms than Canberra — a city defined by collaboration, decision-making, and collective purpose.

If you’re ready to expand your influence, energise your practice, and be part of something bigger, The Gathering 2 is for you.

Save the date. Come ready to connect, grow, and belong.

Let’s gather — and build the future together.
