Following the success of last year’s edition, the NCCA is delighted to invite you to Meet the Ambassador on Thursday, 13 November 2025 at the Hilton Melbourne Little Queen Street.

This year, the event returns in an expanded format, bringing together the Dutch-Australian business community for an afternoon of dialogue, insights, and connection. The program begins with an intimate Roundtable, exclusively for NCCA Business Members, offering a unique opportunity to engage directly with Ambassador Ardi Stoios-Braken. Following the Roundtable, we will open the doors to other NCCA members and the public for our End of Year Drinks, where guests can continue the conversation and celebrate the season alongside the Ambassador.

About the Event

The Meet the Ambassador Roundtable offers an intimate and interactive discussion with Ambassador Ardi Stoios-Braken, who will share her perspectives on current economic developments and emerging opportunities for Dutch-Australian business collaboration. This session is exclusively available for NCCA Business Members. This session provides a rare opportunity to engage directly with the Ambassador and fellow NCCA Business Members in a small-group setting.

Following the Roundtable, attendees automatically continue into the End of Year Networking Reception, which opens its doors to NCCA members and guests alike. This relaxed networking environment is the perfect setting to continue the conversation, celebrate the season, and connect with professionals across the Dutch-Australian business community, alongside the Ambassador.
