Programme

Leaders Meet: Australia is designed to accelerate the growth of elite sport by bringing together a unique intersection of senior leaders shaping for the future of sport in Australasia.

Increasingly, performance off the pitch is fueled by performance on the pitch. As the pressure to win intensifies it’s essential that leaders develop a holistic understanding of what truly propels their sport and organisation forward, by developing their knowledge and network across both performance and business strategy.

Representation from both leaders on the pitch, working directly with the athlete, and executives meeting commercial demands will enable a unique discussion on what it takes to become a world-class leader in today’s sporting environment.

With a senior audience, cross-industry perspectives, and interactive formats, it’s designed to challenge thinking, spark innovation, and drive real progress. This is where the brightest minds in Australian sport come to shape what’s next.
