Ideas@theHouse was conceived as a series of live events to be held at Government House, providing a platform to explore important and influential ideas. With the constraints of 2020, and the assistance of the Royal Society of New South Wales, Ideas@theHouse moved to a virtual platform. Recent editions of Ideas@theHouse have been live and livestreamed. Some of those are available to view through the links below.
