Overview:
Future Science Talks (FST) equips presenters with the skills to communicate complex and specialised information with confidence, clarity, and impact. We partner with a broad range of organisations, and have deep expertise in the health, science, technology, and government sectors.
Our workshops are practical and results-driven, providing participants with techniques they can immediately apply across diverse settings, including meetings, presentations, and high-stakes talks.
FST has supported scientists in securing research funding, helped health organisations build corporate partnerships, enabled technology companies to strengthen connections with government, and guided public sector teams to deliver more influential stakeholder briefings.
Our programs are led by FST Founder, Dave Crisante, who brings more than 20 years of experience working with science, health, technology, and government organisations. His background includes executive roles in communications and partnerships, as well as serving as an ABC journalist and political speechwriter.

To meet its vision, it is a requirement for MinEx CRC to exchange research and development ideas across broad disciplines with a range of people of diverse views through open and respectful dialogue at face-to-face and online meetings, conferences, and field and drilling activities. MinEx CRC is committed to an ethos of equal opportunity and fair treatment of all those associated with MinEx CRC-related activities, regardless of diversity.
It is the responsibility of all those associated with MinEx CRC to ensure that a collegiate, inclusive and encouraging atmosphere is maintained when undertaking the work of the CRC. MinEx CRC considers the rich diversity of those involved in the CRC as a resource that should be drawn upon.
We ask that all attendees familiarise themselves with the MinEx CRC Code of Conduct.
