Breakfast Cafe 2010Chain Reaction Breakfast Cafe conversations continue in 2010 in NSW and VIC. The Cafe is proudly sponsored by KPMG, a Chain Reaction Partner. Attended by business, government and community leaders, conversations focus on topics shaping civil society and of interest to all Australians. Discussion is facilitated by Chain Reaction Specialist Consultants and introduced by prominent guest speakers. All who attend the Cafe are invited to host a breakfast of their own, whose guests in turn are invited to do the same, thus creating a chain reaction of conversations. The breakfast 'voices' are recorded and highlights of the conversations appear on this website. How to Participate:
