Two days to rethink leadership for an age of accelerating change. The World Business Forum returns to Sydney, organised by WOBI (World Business Forum), bringing together a world-class line-up of speakers, senior executives and changemakers from across Australia and New Zealand.
WOBI has spent over two decades curating the ideas shaping global business — and WBF Sydney 2026 continues that tradition, focused on the themes leaders can't ignore: artificial intelligence, disruption, innovation and the future of leadership.
As organisations navigate AI-driven transformation, shifting markets and constant disruption, WBF Sydney offers a rare chance to hear directly from some of the world's most influential voices on what it takes to lead through uncertainty and turn change into competitive advantage.
Featured speakers include:
- Carl Lewis — Nine-time Olympic gold medallist, sharing what elite performance and a relentless pursuit of excellence can teach business leaders about resilience and high-stakes execution.
- Carly Fiorina — Former CEO of HP, on bold leadership, navigating disruption, and making tough calls under pressure.
- Seth Godin — Bestselling author and marketing thinker, on standing out, building remarkable ideas, and leading change rather than waiting for it.
- Chris Barton — Founder of Shazam, on building breakthrough technology, recognising disruption before it arrives, and what it takes to turn a bold idea into a global innovation.
The programme includes keynote sessions, panel discussions with senior industry voices, and networking opportunities for the Australian and New Zealand business community.
