What's in it for you?

As they say — you get out what you put in. If you give the summit your all, it will give you all it has to offer. You'll expand your network, fast-track your entrepreneurial journey, and join a community that boosts your ambition.


Beyond the educational and professional growth, the summit places a strong emphasis on community building and bonding. Social events and networking sessions are designed to foster lasting connections and a supportive community among all delegates. Whether it's through urban exploring in Sydney, teamwork activities, or a late-night push to complete the hackathon, you'll leave with both valuable insights and lifelong friendships.

​

Our lineup of speakers (without disclosing any names!) include the CTO of a data analytics startup with a Blackbird-backed Seed Round, Physics PhD turned founder who grew a multi-billion company from 5 to 500 employees, COO of MedTech startup (A$130M series B raise), and many more.

We are looking for the young and ambitious. Whether you're a budding entrepreneur, a startup enthusiast, or someone with a drive to innovate and build something, the Emerging Giants Summit is your place. We welcome applicants from all industries, disciplines and backgrounds. Summit applicants must be within the age requirement of 18 to 26 years old at the time of Summit.
