🚨 Keynote Announcement – ARI NSW 60th Annual Conference & Trade Show 🚨

We’re proud to announce that Bart Walsh will close Day 1 of our Conference on 25 May at NEX, Newcastle, delivering a powerful keynote that will set the tone and momentum for Day 2.

Bart Walsh is an inspirational keynote speaker and high-performance fitness coach who blends grit, humour and real-life experience into messages that hit you in the chest, not just the notebook.

A former actor, respected fitness expert, proud dad, cancer survivor and disability advocate, Bart is on a clear mission: to give your life more purpose.
Using every chapter of his story to spark practical resilience, Bart is known for turning hard moments into clear choices and forward momentum.

Through his signature framework, The Three Rules of Resilience, he shows that resilience, strength and purpose aren’t things you’re given...they’re things you practise.

His message couldn’t be more relevant to our industry.
Because resilience isn’t just personal — it’s professional.
It shows up at work.
It shapes leadership.
It defines culture.

💬 “It’s time we see hardship for what it really is. An opportunity.”
💬 “Build resilience. Choose growth.”

Bart is a speaker you don’t want to miss. You won’t just leave inspired, you’ll leave with a new lens on growth, the next right choice, and the tools to back it up when life (and work) gets real.

Day 1 will open with energy and close with impact and we can’t wait to share more of our Keynote speakers!

🚨 Keynote Speaker Announcement – ARI NSW 60th Annual Conference & Trade Show 🚨

We are thrilled to announce that Lucy Bloom will open the ARI NSW Conference on 25 May at NEX, Newcastle.

Lucy is an award-winning leader and speaker, a change-maker, exceptional communicator, and business fixer (with the best mohawk in the business).

Lucy led an advertising agency for 20 years before stepping into CEO roles with international aid organisations in Ethiopia and Cambodia. Lucy is also the founder of an education start-up and the author of four books, including her memoir Get the Girls Out.

You’ll find Lucy to be challenging and entertaining in equal measure, with humour woven into a powerful business message. She’s a rule-breaker, idea-maker and momentum creator, the perfect person to open what promises to be an energising and forward-thinking conference.

This is just the first of an impressive speaker line-up we’re excited to reveal.
Ticket sales will start this Friday, so make sure you have marked this down in your calendars!

Nobody forgets a speech by Lucy!
