Elena Gosse OAM, Chief Executive of AIS Water, will deliver a dynamic and inspirational presentation focused on business and leadership development. Elena shares her personal journey of immigrating to Australia and growing a successful family business, emphasising embracing discomfort, confronting limiting beliefs, and fostering a culture of continuous learning and innovation.
Cain Liddle, with extensive experience managing Victoria's largest leisure facilities and serving in key leadership roles within the sports industry, brings a unique perspective on business diversification and growth strategies in sports and leisure.
Jessica Wilson, co-founder of Women Making Waves and recognized as one of Forbes' ‘1,000 Entrepreneurs Under 30 to Change the World’, is a dynamic keynote speaker known for her insights on innovation and the entrepreneurial mindset.
ARI Chairperson, Marco Blanco explains that “the conference program is designed to address key topics shaping the aquatics and recreation landscape, including emergency response and safety, sustainable facility management, diversity and inclusion, workforce challenges and young leaders.
Blanco noted "we are thrilled to present such an exceptional lineup of speakers for this year's conference.
"Many of our members have provided feedback stating that this year’s program is the best we have ever had. We will deliver a high quality program that provides our members with a broad range of professional development sessions, an incredible lineup of keynote presenters and panel sessions, and break out sessions that will cover cutting edge topics in our sector.”
Blanco also stated that he was delighted with a very positive response from ARI’s trade partners which meant that this year’s event has sold out of trade exhibit spots.
