You Should Be In This Room
If you're waiting for a sign...this is it.
Some opportunities arrive in your inbox.
The important ones usually arrive through people.
On 7 October, we’re bringing together influential business owners, senior leaders, decision-makers, and people who make things happen for one morning in Sydney.
People you might do business with.
People you might collaborate with.
People who might introduce you to someone important.
People you may never have met otherwise.
Yes, you’ll hear extraordinary people on stage.
But The Influencers 2026 isn’t just about who is on the stage.
It’s about who is sitting beside you.
If becoming more influential means creating more opportunities, stronger relationships and access to better rooms…
this is one of those rooms.
“Leadership is influence — nothing more, nothing less.” ~ John C. Maxwell
