The energy and optimism about Brisbane’s future was contagious at the Brisbane Economic Development Agency’s bi-annual Industry Forum and how could I resist an invitation from CEO, Anthony Ryan. As someone who works with organisations and teams, I jumped at the opportunity to hear perspectives from the tourism industry and understand how different sectors plan for growth.
Two messages really stood out from Anthony: the critical importance of collaboration in driving success and the strong sense that Brisbane is entering an exciting new chapter.
With major events on the horizon and growing recognition of our city’s potential, it was inspiring to consider how businesses can work together to create opportunities and drive economic growth. The forum reinforced that when we work together and share insights, we can achieve so much more than working in isolation.
Presenters included Anthony Cicuttini, Head of Aviation Business Development at Brisbane Airport Corporation; Carmenza Cespedes, Director of Strategy, Value & Growth at Tourism and Events Queensland; Greg Swann, CEO of Brisbane Lions; Maxine Horne, Founder of Vita Group; Rob Lindwall from PsiQuantum; and Andrew Baturo, creative force behind DAP & Co. Hospitality Group, Tillerman, and Libertine.
