World Business Forum Sydney 2024: A Line-Up of World-Class Speakers

World Business Forum Sydney

The 2024 World Business Forum Sydney, taking place at the ICC Sydney on 13th & 14th November, will be headlined by one of the greatest tennis players in history, Andre Agassi.

Known for his incredible achievements on the court, including eight Grand Slam titles and a former world #1 ranking, Agassi will share his insights on high performance and resilience with over 2,000 senior executives attending the event.

Agassi’s story goes beyond tennis. As a philanthropist and founder of the Andre Agassi Foundation for Education, his life’s work has been dedicated to providing educational opportunities to underserved children.

While his bestselling autobiography, Open, gives a candid reflection on his career, struggles, and personal growth, offering a unique perspective on leadership, perseverance, and the power of purpose.

The 2024 World Business Forum Sydney, recognised as the Meeting Point for Senior Executives, will gather global business leaders to explore the theme "Purpose PLUS," delving into how purpose-driven leadership can foster credibility, resilience, and long-term sustainability within organisations.

Alongside Agassi, an exceptional line-up of speakers will address the most pressing topics for today’s business leaders:

Gary Hamel, world-renowned business strategist and author, will discuss innovation and strategic management, offering insights on building agile organisations in fast-changing environments.

Cathy Freeman, Olympic icon, will speak on diversity and inclusion, sharing lessons from her trailblazing career and her efforts to improve educational opportunities for Indigenous children.

Anne Chow, former CEO of AT&T Business and a leadership trailblazer, will explore the challenges of building trust, transparency, and high-performance cultures within organisations.

Nouriel Roubini, economist and professor, known for predicting the 2008 financial crisis, will provide expert analysis on global economic trends and their impact on business.

Radhika Dirks, an AI and Quantum Computing authority, will offer practical strategies for organisations looking to innovate through next-generation technologies.

Lisa MacCallum, founder of Inspired Companies and former VP of Nike, will address the evolving role of purpose-driven leadership in talent management and business performance.
