📣 Robina Alliance Breakfast Wrap-Up for 2024!
What an inspiring morning packed with insights and opportunities! Here's a quick look at the key takeaways from today’s speakers:
🌟 Embrace the opportunities! The Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games offer more than just four weeks of events—our facilities will host major sporting events before and after, providing an ongoing stream of business possibilities.
🏅 Athlete engagement. Olympians and Paralympians enjoy connecting with schools, sharing their experiences to inspire the next generation. On game day, though, a better question to ask than "How are you feeling?" is "Is there anything I can do for you?"
🏟 Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Hosting the Olympics is about more than the event itself—it’s about the lasting legacy and giving businesses a chance to step onto the global stage.
💡 More than just hospitality. Activation sites will need more than food and drinks—there’s demand for physios, allied health professionals, and other support services.
📅 Long-lasting legacy. Sydney's Olympic venues from 2000 are still in use today—Brisbane 2032 will offer similar long-term opportunities for our facilities and businesses.
💼 Strategic thinking. Businesses should start planning now on how to position themselves to leverage the opportunities. This is a unique moment to build a lasting story and capitalize on every chance.
💪 Challenges ahead—but embrace them! Major events always come with challenges, but they also bring significant opportunities. Now is the time to get involved, think strategically, and be part of something monumental.
🌱 Focus on sustainability and accessibility. These games are not just about the present—they're about building a future that is both sustainable and inclusive for everyone.
❓ The big question—where will the Opening Ceremony be held? While we didn’t get an answer, the excitement is building for what’s set to be a historic event.
Let's make the most of every opportunity and build an unforgettable legacy for Brisbane 2032! Volunteer, participate, and engage—the countdown is on! 🚀
Thank you to our panel guests Councillor Dan Doran, Trish Apps, Ella Sabljak, and Kenny Wallace OAM, as well as our Q&A host, Ryan Keen.
