Catch up on Adelaide’s Big Breakfast

Adelaide Breakfast

Did you miss PASA Connect’s first Big Breakfast of 2025? Catch a glimpse of the highlights with our Adelaide recap video.

On 1 May, the Big Breakfast travelled to the Adelaide Oval, squeezing a ‘one-day’ event into a snappy four-hour window.

The morning began with a delicious hot breakfast at 7:30am, followed by a jam-packed program featuring several high-profile guest speakers, including Nichola Wilson (SA Power), Hayley Kudra (VendorPanel), Tony Leung (R.M.Williams), Amit Singh (Adelaide University) and Tom Hendrick (The Talent Academy & TedX Coach).

Attendees joined with colleagues and peers from around the city to connect, share and learn together, discussing the issues facing procurement while tapping into new procurement thinking.

The Big Breakfast series will also visit Melbourne (13th May), Brisbane (17th July), Canberra (24th July), Sydney (28th August), Perth (3rd September), Auckland (8th September), Wellington (10th September) and Christchurch (11th September). 

Remember, PASA’s Big Breakfast events sell out every year, so get in quick!
