WWA 2025 Conference – That’s a Wrap!

🔹 That’s a Wrap – WWA 2025 Conference! 🔹

Energy! That was our theme, and from start to finish, that’s exactly what we brought.

At the start of the conference, our Chairperson, Jason Croston, asked every attendee to bring their energy – and without a doubt, you absolutely did! From insightful discussions to powerful collaboration, this year’s WWA Annual Conference in Perth was nothing short of inspiring.
