Western Sydney is gearing up for one of the most transformative milestones in Australia’s history. December officially marks one year until the opening of the new airport. The countdown is ON.
This year’s conference is headlined by The Hon. Catherine King MP, Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government,
We’ll also hear from Jennifer Westacott AC, Chair of the Bradfield Development Authority and Chancellor of Western Sydney University, Ken Morrison, Chief Executive of the Bradfield Development Authority, and CEO WSI, Simon Hickey.
More speakers are to be announced...
Next year, Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport will open its doors, marking a generational shift in how Sydney connects to the world. Alongside it, Bradfield City Centre is rising: Australia’s first new city in more than a century, built from the ground up to drive innovation, advanced manufacturing and global investment.
The question for business is clear: How do we seize this moment – and what comes next?
Across the globe, major cities like London, Tokyo and New York have built entire economic ecosystems around multiple airports. Western Sydney now faces a similar inflection point. Can we develop a bold, long-term vision for tourism, trade and economic growth centred on this globally connected region?
What does it mean to connect our multicultural population to the world, not just through travel, but through jobs, exports, education and innovation?
This one-day conference will explore what the new airport and Bradfield City Centre mean for business, and how organisations can prepare now to leverage this once-in-a-generation transformation.
