Sports Connect Summit 2025

An invitation-only gathering for sports leaders shaping what’s next.

This is not your typical conference.

It’s a tightly curated, two-day leadership experience on the Sunshine Coast for 30 sports executives and changemakers who want to think differently, connect deeply, and leave with practical insights that move the needle.

Built around real conversations - not canned presentations - it’s a space to challenge assumptions, share openly, and sharpen your strategy.

🎟️ Tickets include 2 nights' accommodation (29 & 30 July) and full catering.
