Leadership and Legacy Dinner 2026

On Wednesday 25 November 2026, the Leadership Victoria community will gather at Evoqé Events in the heart of Melbourne for the Leadership & Legacy Dinner 2026: a night to celebrate a year of impactful leadership, community contribution and the enduring networks built across more than 35 years of LV programs. 

The centrepiece of the evening is the graduation of the Williamson Community Leadership Program (WCLP) 2026 cohort, who will be formally welcomed as Williamson Fellows - joining a community of leaders spanning business, government, and the community sector.

The night will feature a keynote from the Honourable Wade Noonan (WCLP '05), now Deputy Vice-Chancellor External Relations & Partnerships at Victoria University, alongside reflections from the WCLP 2026 Valedictorians, who will share highlights from their leadership journey. 

Guests will enjoy a multi-course dinner and drinks, and plenty of meaningful conversation in one of Melbourne's premier venues.  

Whether you're planning a reunion with your own program cohort, celebrating the Williamson 2026 graduates, bringing guests who are new to LV and Williamson, or hoping to make new connections with other leaders, the evening is designed to inspire, celebrate and strengthen our community. 

In particular, it's a wonderful opportunity for Williamson Fellows marking milestone reunions to gather.
