MANLY TALKS

Since launching in October 2019, Manly Talks has become a vibrant forum for thought-provoking discussions on the issues that matter most. In 2025, we are excited to extend the program with the start of Manly YOUTH Talks!
Young people are the heartbeat of our community – our leaders, innovators, creatives, and environmental champions. We know you’re bursting with ideas and ready to make waves, so this one’s for YOU! Our core pillars are connection, conversation and community - they drive every event, bringing together thought leaders and locals alike to dive into topics that shape our world and our future. From the environment and mental health to climate change, relationships, technology, and the Voice to Parliament, we've welcomed leading experts who share insights on the most pressing issues of our time. It’s more than just a talk – it’s an opportunity to connect with your community, spark meaningful conversations, and enjoy great food and drinks with friends, all while expanding your perspective and learning from the best. Join us at Manly Talks – where ideas meet action and we come together to make a difference! |
