Introducing our third and final speaker…Luke Altschwager, Founder & Managing Director of Palm Valley Gold Coast & Parkwood International! Luke is a powerhouse in hospitality and sport, and a visionary redefining what it means to build a community-first business.
Starting his career as a PGA Golf Professional, Luke spent nearly two decades competing across Australia and internationally. But it’s what he built off the course that really sets him apart. Over the past 14 years, Luke has transformed Parkwood International into one of the Gold Coast’s most dynamic lifestyle destinations. Think golf, surf, sports medicine, retirement living, entertainment, hospitality and more, all thoughtfully brought together under one master plan.
As Founder and Managing Director of Palm Valley Gold Coast and Parkwood International, Luke is known for his ability to think big and bring ambitious ideas to life. His projects integrate sport, lifestyle and innovation in ways that elevate both experience and community.
He’ll be joining Jane Lu (CEO of Showpo & Judge on Shark Tank AU) and Ian Cragg (Co-Founder of Send Payments) for an afternoon of sharp insights, bold thinking and real talk from some of the country’s brightest business minds.
Join us Friday, 30 May 2025, 12:00 pm at The Island Glasshouse, for an afternoon of game-changing conversations, brilliant networking, and a deep dive into what it takes to grow something great on the Gold Coast (and beyond).
