Renowned lawyer, refugee advocate and champion of multiculturalism, Deng Adut, is set to deliver the keynote address at this year’s Orana Outlook Forum in Dubbo later this month.

Orana CEO Justine Campbell said it was an incredible opportunity to hear Mr Adut.

“Deng Adut’s story is truly inspiring,” said Ms Campbell.

“Mr Adut has overcome astonishing adversity, from his early life as a Sudanese child soldier turned western Sydney lawyer, refugee advocate and Australian of the Year, his harrowing tale of personal journey has evoked strong emotions and inspired millions across not just Australia but around the world,” she added.

Held at Lazy River Estate on November 27, the event by RDA Orana and The Welcome Experience Orana will bring together local leaders, community members and industry experts for a day of thought-provoking discussion on the Orana region.

Industry-leading guest speakers include Professor Barney Glover AO, Commissioner of Jobs and Skills Australia; Ashley Dunn, Founding Director of Dunn Hillam Architecture and Urban Design; Jane Donald, Director of Bob Berry Real Estate; Khushaal Vyas, from Multicultural NSW and Youth Law Australia; and Gargi Ganguly, Chairperson of ORISCON.

The forum will provide updates around regional housing, workforce, migration and more, providing a unique platform to exchange ideas, strengthen professional networks and explore new perspectives on the future of the Orana region.
