DAY TWO
9:00 - 9:30 | Tiffany Mills - Different by Design: Neurodiversity, Inclusion and What Your Club Could Become
Clubs are built around systems, routines, and expectations—but not all people experience those systems in the same way. This session explores how neurodiversity and inclusion show up in real club environments, and what leaders often miss when designing programs, spaces, and team interactions. It challenges assumptions about “what works,” and opens up new ways of thinking about participation, engagement, and belonging—highlighting what becomes possible when clubs are intentionally designed for a wider range of people.

The focus is on practical changes that increase capacity without increasing chaos.
11:45 - 12:30 | John Pirlo - Scaling Without Breaking: What Changes When You Grow

AFTERNOON TEA
3:30 - 4:15 | Bill Nelson - From Ideas to Execution: Why Most Clubs Don’t Change (and How to Be the Exception)
Clubs rarely struggle with ideas—they struggle with follow-through. This session unpacks the common patterns that prevent change, from competing priorities to lack of clarity and accountability. It then focuses on how to cut through the noise, prioritise what matters, and create the conditions for consistent execution so that insights from the conference translate into real outcomes.
4:15 - 4:45 | John Mitchell - The Next 12 Months: What Matters Most
Across the last two days, we’ve explored what well-run clubs look like, how they operate, and where the industry is heading.
