Down-to-Business Luncheon
The Down-to-Business Luncheon (DBL) is the FMAA’s premier networking event. Operating as a joint event in Victoria (UMelb & Monash) and New South Wales (USYD & UNSW) and as a sole event in Queensland (UQ), the DBL enables students to interact and enjoy a two-course meal with sponsor firms. The DBL has had the privilege of hosting high-calibre guest speakers on an annual basis.
