LCA held its third QLD CEOs Forum at Gambaro’s Restaurant & Function Centre in Brisbane on 24-25 July, with 24 CEOs in attendance.

The group heard presentations from Clubs Queensland CEO Kelly Egan, Queensland Rugby League CEO Ben Ikin on the current position of Rugby League in QLD, regulatory and government updates from Deputy Director General OLGR Victoria Thomson, Shadow Attorney General Tim Nicholls MP, Monique Bielanowski from Monandia Consulting, and Max Dudley from SEC Newgate Group.

Frank Makryllos presented on Cashless Gaming and Tony Crawford finished the forum with a presentation on benchmarking.

LCA would like to thank all the presenters for their very informative presentations, and the CEOs who attended.

Thank you to everyone who came along to the Gaming & Leadership Conference at the Western Sydney Conference Centre at Penrith in May.

This year’s theme was ‘Beyond Boundaries: Sustainable Futures, Inspiring Growth’ with the aim of pushing the limits of conventional thinking in the gaming industry – and I think we achieved that over the two days.

Special thanks to the RSL & Services Clubs Association for co-hosting this event with LCA, and to our conference partner IGT Gaming

Thank you to our host Rabs, and to all of our guest speakers and panellists, who provided insightful and inspiring ideas and opinions.

Thank you to the Western Sydney Conference Centre for hosting the event, to the Pullman Hotel and Mercure Penrith for hosting our overnight guests, and to Brian Fletcher and the team at Penrith Panthers for your hospitality.
