An Evening Reception with the Australian Olympic Committee

With Los Angeles 2028 on the horizon and Brisbane 2032 to follow, the next decade of the Olympic Movement has an unmistakably Australian flavor. The American Australian Association and the Australian Olympic Committee are hosting an evening reception in New York to talk about exactly that.

The evening brings together Australian and US leaders from business, investment, philanthropy, and sport for a conversation with Olympians and senior leaders from the Australian Olympic Committee. You’ll hear firsthand about the vision, the ambition, and the opportunities taking shape as Australia looks toward hosting the world, and you’ll be in the room with the people helping shape it.

Who you’ll hear from

The guest list is genuinely remarkable:

• Ian Chesterman AM, President of the Australian Olympic Committee and IOC Member
• Andrew Liveris AO, President of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games Organising Committee
• Anna Meares OAM OLY, Chef de Mission of the Australian Olympic Team for LA28
• Jane Flemming OAM OLY, President of Australian Athletics
• The Honourable Mark Arbib, CEO of the Australian Olympic Committee

Between them, that’s two Olympic host cities, an IOC member, and two of the most decorated athletes Australia has produced.

What to expect

This is a relaxed evening reception rather than a formal program, with beverages and light refreshments served throughout. Come ready to listen, ask a good question, and meet people who care about Australian sport as much as you do.

If you work in sport, investment, philanthropy, or you simply want to understand what LA28 and Brisbane 2032 mean for Australia, this is a rare chance to hear it directly from the people building it.
