Interactive Business Breakfast - Circular Economy Focus for 2026

SMECNerang, QLD
Thursday, Jan 15, 2026 from 7:15 am to 9:30 am AEST
Overview

Focus on where investment, leadership and effort can deliver the greatest impact in 2026 through the circular economy.

Circular Economy Focus for 2026


This interactive business breakfast will explore where investment, leadership and effort can deliver the greatest circular economy impact in 2026. Using a participant-led, outcome-focused format, attendees will shape the discussion around their priorities, drawing on practical case studies, actionable insights and strategic dialogue. Three guest speakers will each share a concise 10-minute perspective based on real-world experience, followed by a facilitated, interactive Q&A focused on translating circular strategies into tangible outcomes for organisational performance, risk management and competitiveness. The session also connects to a broader international dialogue ahead of the planned EU Circular Economy Talk in 2026, while reflecting the Circular Economy Club Gold Coast’s mission to “act locally, think globally.”

The circular economy is an economic system designed to eliminate waste and pollution, keep products and materials in use for as long as possible, and regenerate natural systems, creating environmental, social and economic value.

Please join us for a morning of ideas, connection, and collaboration, and feel free to invite friends and colleagues to join the discussions. All are welcome!
