The ADC Forum COVID Webinars

In September and October 2020, ADC Forum hosted a discussion series on “Understanding and Moving on from COVID”. The aim of this series was to present current information and insights and expose arguments relevant to understanding and moving on from the Covid-19 crisis.

The topics covered by the webinars were:

  • Epidemiology and choices for managing the future;
  • Communicating science and trust in institutions;
  • The economic legacy; and
  • Preparing for the future.

This series showcased Australian and global thought leaders to explore and debate the evidence and the issues, including choices between public health and economic welfare in a revealing open and online roundtable discussion which provided exceptional insights for business leaders and policy makers. This paper summarises some of the key highlights and takeaways from the series, and provides insights for the future.
