  Brett de Hoedt hosts posh networking events, rowdy industry awards, serious national conferences , anxious crisis meetings and celebratory public events. Book direct. Some things change - fashions, currencies, monarchies - but some things remain.   Brett will emcee  his 14th consecutive Disability Employment Australia national conference in 2020. The conference brings together a sector now valued at close to a billion dollars. “There’s no issue closer to my heart than employment, ,” says Brett. “Jobs mean acceptance, status, challenge, integration, acceptance - it’s so much more than just the money.
