The wait is over!
After introducing our brilliant panellists—Jeff McAlister, John Warn, Lisa Burquest, and Bob East—we’re ready to reveal the icing on the cake for this year’s YP Gold Coast’s 2024 City Leaders Forum, presented by Morgans Gold Coast.
Introducing your keynote speaker: Kim Seeling Smith, Business Futurist and all-around thought leader on the Future of Work.
Kim is the mastermind helping businesses navigate the ever-evolving world of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and what she calls the Polycrisis—a complex web where multiple crises converge and impact one another. She’s literally sat at the table with Sir Richard Branson and has been named one of the Top 101 Global Influencers on Employee Engagement.
Not to mention, she’s authored books alongside business legends like Brian Tracy and frequently appears on The Today Show, in Forbes, CEO Magazine, and beyond.
Originally a CPA with KPMG, Kim now fuses her business expertise with cutting-edge insights into how organisations can future-proof themselves. Her thought-provoking perspectives will inspire you to reimagine the workplace and equip your organisation for tomorrow, with AI at the centre of the conversation.
In her keynote, Kim will dive deep into our theme: Future Proofing the Gold Coast: Talent, Technology & Transformation. She’ll take you through the tools you need to embrace innovation, nurture top-tier talent, and ride the wave of transformative technologies that are shaping the world right now.
Don’t miss out—tickets are still available for $190 per person, which includes a two-course lunch, a three-hour beverage package, live entertainment, and unbeatable networking opportunities.
