The 2020 Summit held at Parliament House on 19 and 20 April 2008 was convened by the Prime Minister Kevin Rudd with the intention of shaping a long‐term strategy for the nation's future. The Summit brought together 1,000 people from across the nation to debate options for long‐term challenges confronting Australia's future I was fortunate to be selected to join the Health Stream titled: ‘Towards a long‐term health strategy’. Debate and discussion between participants began two weeks before the Summit via 2020 website blogs set up for sharing of early ‘big ideas’. This informed the Stream Chairs in their working up of themes which formed the working groups during the Summit.
