Advisory Board Centre's Megatrends Summit

The Advisory Board Centre’s 2025 Megatrends Summit is coming up on Friday 30 May in Brisbane, Australia, and we would be delighted for you to join us.

The Summit offers a unique opportunity to elevate your advisory craft through formal keynote sessions, interactive discussions, practical workshops and informal networking – expect to engage with your peers throughout the day and walk away with a wealth of new connections.

Louise Broekman will kick off proceedings in launching the latest State of the Market Report for 2025-2027, which delves into global insights in the art and science of effective advisory boards.

We’re looking forward to hearing from Mark Rigotti, Managing Director & CEO, Australian Institute of Company Directors, who will explore the critical governance issues keeping directors awake at night and how advisory boards can help.

Aaron Zamykal 🚀 of Actualisation will offer practical, ethical guidance on building secure, private AI factories with validated business data to drive business growth and productivity, while Catherine Sayer of the Family Business Association, Suzy Munt of BDO and Anita Muller of Running Tall will delve into advisory boards’ crucial role in supporting sustainable growth in family enterprises.

We’re fortunate to have Jeremy Dicker of International Intrigue on hand to examine how the current geopolitical volatility impacts our region and the advisory profession, including implications for trade, industry and critical sectors.

We’re also looking forward to a special Fellows Panel, where some of our most experienced Advisory Board Centre Certified Chairs™, including Mark Cranny, Ken Goldberg and Corinne Butler, will be in conversation with their clients Claire Stokes (Griffith University), Scott Kelleher (Harcourts) and Bruce Everett (ABGAL) and share valuable, real-world advisory case studies.

To round out the day, Wendy Pavey will deliver a profile masterclass to help you elevate your personal brand while building a sustainable, high-impact advisory and board portfolio.

This Summit is designed for advisory professionals and senior business leaders keen to explore key advisory trends and engage in rich discussions, while connecting with peers in the sector. Within the full program there will be plenty of opportunity for networking, including over drinks at the Summit close. We hope to see you there!
