Australia’s keynote speaker of the Year’ the first to commit to the 2019 GMA National Conference

POSTED ON February 1, 2019 @ 4:12 pm

With planning well underway for the 2019 GMA National Conference to be held at the Melbourne Cricket Ground from the 6th– 10th October, the organising committee is pleased to announce the confirmation of its first keynote speaker, Michael McQueen.

Michael is a multi-award-winning speaker, trend forecaster and six-time bestselling author.  With clients including KPMG, Pepsi and Cisco, he has helped some of the world’s most successful brands navigate disruption and maintain momentum.  He is a regular commentator on TV and radio and his work has featured in publications ranging from the UK Daily Mail to Medium.com and the Huffington Post.

In addition, Michael is a familiar face on the international conference circuit having shared the stage with the likes of Bill Gates, Dr. John Maxwell and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, and has spoken to over 500,000 people across 5 continents since 2004.

Having been recently named Australia’s Keynote Speaker of the Year, Michael was inducted into the Professional Speakers Hall of Fame.

GMA is delighted to have secured Michael for the 2019 GMA National Conference and is positive his knowledge regarding key themes including ‘decoding millennials’ and ‘preparing for what’s next’, will be fascinating listening for all those attending.

GMA will look to open registrations for the 2019 National Conference in March, with early bird pricing to once again be available.
