SPEAKERS



Formula 1 sensation Daniel Ricciardo will be joining the stage at Connect for an exclusivesit-down interview. The Aussie star who helped transform Formula 1 into a global phenomenon through Netflix’s “Drive to Survive” brings his infectious energy to our stage. 
‘Danny Ric’ has won hearts all over the world, not only for his cheeky smile, but for his down-to-earth, Australian approach to a famously exclusive sport - with only 20 drivers competing at the pinnacle of motorsports during the Formula 1 Grand Prix season. With 8 wins, 32 podiums, and a career driving for Oracle Red Bull Racing, McLaren F1, Renault F1, and AlphaTauri and Visa Cash App, Daniel’slegendary reputation goes beyond the sport, captivating fans worldwide with his authenticity and charm.
Off the track, Daniel is a connoisseur of red wine (and now rosé), with his international wine business DR3 Wines and global motorsports-inspired lifestyle apparel business, Enchanté.


We’re thrilled to welcome Mel McLaughlin to the Connect stage tointerview Formula 1 star, Daniel Ricciardo.

With over two decades in Australianbroadcasting, Mel McLaughlin is oneof the country’s most respected sportsmedia figures.




Nedd Brockmann is the fastest ever Australian to run across the country, and second fastest in the world having completed the run from Perth to Bondi Beach. In just over 46 days and 4,000km – an astonishing 80km+ a day - he conquered Australia’s terrain and captured our hearts. Nedd’s goal was to raise $1 million for the homeless charity, We Are Mobilise. After going viral on social media, he reached the iconic Bondi Beach on a Monday afternoon and was welcomed by 10,000 Sydneysiders. His final total raised was $2.5 million, with $600,000 raised on the final day of his run.
Nedd’s relentless focus on never giving up and keep showing up has inspired the nation. His daily quote of ‘get comfortable being uncomfortable’ has resonated with all ages and demographics and is driving people and celebrities alike to take on new challenges.
He lives and breathes his values and is keen to share his experience.

There’s a reason why Australian accents are creeping into millions of American homes, why parents are secretly streaming episodes after their kids goto bed, and why “Dance Mode” has become a legitimate way to get through grocery shopping. 

Joe Brumm, creator of the worldwide sensation Bluey, will be joining the stage at Connect. In this session, Joe will unpack how a simple story about a six-year-old Blue Heeler grew into a cultural touchstone that’s reshaping how we think about family entertainment. Connect attendees will get the opportunity to hear about the creative vision behind the show that’s become a world-wide phenomenon, revolutionised children’s television, and reminded us all what childhood should feel like.

Earlier this year, Shelley announced her departure as CEO of the beauty brand, selling her remaining stake to DBG Health in one of the most valuable female-led M&A deals in Australian history. At the time of the acquisition, MCoBeauty was valued at over $1 billion. Shelley is now taking her entrepreneurial magic global, leveraging her impressive business expertise and skillset on international ventures.
MCoBeauty is now the number one selling cosmetics brand in Australia and New Zealand, with a billion-dollar valuation. The brand has successfully captured market share from global beauty giants such as L’Oréal, Maybelline, Rimmel, CoverGirl, and Revlon.

With Paralympic medals inthree disciplines, Commonwealth Games gold, and 11 World Championship podiums, Jess’s sporting career is awe-inspiring. Most recently, at the 2024 Paris Paralympics, she claimed silver intrack cycling, having made the tough decision to prioritise the sport over rowing after qualifying for both.

Beyond the track, Jess is a qualified osteopath, a not-for-profit ambassador, and recipient of RMIT’s highest honour, an Honorary Doctorate in Social Sciences. Her story is one of relentless courage, elite achievement, and leadership that transcends sport.
