Raising the Bar
Quench your thirst for big ideas
Raising the Bar Sydney is over for 2025.
Hosted on Thursday 3 April, the event brought together the brightest minds, the biggest ideas at Sydney's best bars.
This year's sell-out event was supported by the City of Sydney.
We believe in the power of knowledge to transform lives and shape the world for the better. Raising the Bar fits with our mission to make education accessible to all and foster a culture of lifelong learning.
