With just under a month to go until this year’s YP Gold Coast City Leaders Forum, presented by Morgans Gold Coast, we’re back with another exciting reveal!
We’re thrilled to announce our second panellist—John Warn, the Chief Executive Officer of Experience Gold Coast.
John is a powerhouse of experience, driving tourism, events, arts, culture, and education outcomes for the Gold Coast—he’s all about making our city thrive. With an executive career spanning over 25 years, John’s worn a lot of impressive hats, from Chief Operating Officer at Accor Pacific to steering the ship at some of Australia’s most iconic brands like Westfield, David Jones, and even Westpac.
But that’s just scratching the surface. John’s deep expertise in hospitality, sports, and executive leadership means he’s been at the helm of major institutions—oh, and he’s also been Chair of both Destination NSW and Cricket NSW. This guy’s leadership track record is like a masterclass in steering industries towards success. Did we mention that he completed the Stanford Executive Program at the prestigious Stanford Graduate School of Business? Yep, he’s just that good.
With John’s vast experience in leading and shaping industries, he’s the perfect addition to our panel as we dive into our 2024 theme: Future Proofing the Gold Coast: Talent, Technology & Transformation. From tourism strategies to large-scale venue management (Olympic venues, anyone?), John will bring sharp insights on how the Gold Coast can continue to thrive and grow into the future.
Early bird tickets are now sold out! General admission are now available for $190 per person. For this you’ll get; a two-course lunch, a three-hour beverage package (because no one makes future-proofing decisions on an empty stomach), live entertainment, and the opportunity to network with Gold Coast’s sharpest young professionals who are as passionate about our city’s future as you are.
