Speaker on stage at the Growth Potential Business Conference
Friday 28 August 2026

Growth Potential Annual Business Conference

It just takes one day to change your trajectory.

One idea or insight might just change everything for you and your business.

Since 2019, we’ve created a unique business and networking experience designed to help you step away from your business for just a day, and reconnect to reset your direction.

If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or just want to learn and accelerate growth, join us to connect with an estimated 160 like-minded business owners and leaders, and gain actionable insights from world-class speakers.

Sometimes the best thing you can do for your business is step back, just for a day, and learn from others to reignite the ambition that got you started.

Attend the day, stay the night somewhere nearby, or just make a weekend of it.

What is the Growth Potential
Business Conference?

For owners and leaders who value self-education

Most of us know we should do more of it. Learn from business owners who've been there, done it, and are willing to share what actually worked.

For people who don't want to be sold to all day

Neither do we. That's why this event is built around real conversations, practical insights, and genuine connections, not sales pitches.

For anyone pedalling flat out with not much pressure in the tyres

Sometimes the smartest move is to pause. Step back, hear fresh perspectives, and reset where you're headed before charging forward again.

It's business education done differently

Great speakers, good food, meaningful conversations, and a few laughs along the way. A day designed to leave you sharper than when you arrived.

LEARN

An opportunity to learn a huge amount in one day from world-class speakers, business educators, and business owners.

CONNECT

Build genuine new business and personal relationships with like-minded owners across a very wide range of industries. You might just find your next referral partner.

RECHARGE

Step away from daily distractions to reset and focus on growth. Make a weekend of it, the Sydney CBD has no shortage of things to do.

Limited tickets this year. Book today to not miss out.

Make a weekend of it

Why not make a weekend of it

Most attendees do, every year. Some find a golf course or a high-end hotel spa nearby. Some find amazing places to eat and drink. Many even stop and write their new business plan over breaky the next morning.

Hosted in the heart of the Sydney CBD at The Fullerton Hotel, with accommodation, food, and drink everywhere you look. Making a weekend of it is one of the reasons this event gets bigger every year.

This year's speakers

Our exciting 2026 speaker line up

The Business Panel Discussion is back!

A panel of experts and owners share their invaluable insights and experience, what they've learnt, the mistakes they've made, and their view of what it takes to be successful. This year we have assembled a very high quality and diverse panel to give an honest look at failure and success in business.

This is a candid chat that is very insightful, honest, and always a few laughs.
