The conference

One day to grow your work, your business and your influence

Whether you are advancing your career, building a business, leading people, developing your profile or creating something of your own, Influence brings together the ideas, perspectives and relationships that can help you go further.

Hear from accomplished leaders, founders, entrepreneurs, authors, executive coaches and changemakers across business, leadership, culture and community, while building meaningful connections with people serious about their own growth and impact.

INFLUENCE HASNO SINGLE INDUSTRY

Influence can be seen in the entrepreneur who changes how people live, the leader who changes how a generation thinks, the artist who shapes culture or the professional whose work transforms an organisation.

Your sphere may be

Business Leadership Technology Creativity Media Community Your profession

You may be growing a career, leading a team, building a company, developing your profile, creating something new or working towards becoming exceptional in your field.

At the heart of the conference

INFLUENCE. INCOME. IMPACT.

Three ideas sit at the heart of the Influence Conference.

INFLUENCE

Build credibility, communicate your value, strengthen your reputation and develop relationships that create opportunity.

Influence is not simply about being known. It is about becoming trusted, respected and valuable in your field.

INCOME

Explore how stronger skills, better positioning, smarter decisions and new opportunities can help you progress professionally, grow what you are building and increase your earning potential.

IMPACT

Consider how your expertise, leadership, ideas and resources can create meaningful change in your organisation, industry, community and beyond.

Success is not only about what you achieve. It is also about the difference your influence allows you to make.

Programme

Learn something useful. Meet someone valuable.

SEMINARS

Practical perspectives on influence, leadership, business, career development and personal growth from experienced leaders and practitioners.

WORKSHOPS

Interactive sessions designed to help you explore real questions, ideas and challenges in greater depth.

FIRESIDE CONVERSATIONS

NETWORKING
