AGM + August Dinner

Last scheduled occurrence: August 11 2025

You’re Invited to: Lead Boldly, Think Bigger, Fail Smarter – Lessons from the Front Line of Business and Media

We’re excited to welcome Ramon Rodriguez, a dynamic and forward-thinking leader, as our guest speaker for our August Dinner Event.

With a career spanning media, technology, and advertising, Ramon is a senior commercial leader known for driving growth, leading digital transformation, and aligning teams behind bold strategies.

Currently the General Manager of the Geelong Advertiser, he also leads Product and Partnerships for News Corp’s Victorian business, including major titles like the Herald Sun.

At just 30-something, Ramon has already led high-performing business units across Australia, building influence not through titles, but through results.

In this engaging and insightful session, Ramon will share:

  • What it really takes to lead as a Millennial in senior roles — and how to earn influence through action;
  • Practical strategies for innovation and execution, and how to get teams aligned behind big ideas;
  • How AI is transforming the media and business landscape — and what leaders need to know to stay ahead; and
  • The failures that shaped him, and the honest lessons that turned setbacks into growth

Who Should Attend?

  • Business owners and professionals looking to grow and adapt in a rapidly changing landscape;
  • Team leaders and managers navigating digital transformation or organisational change;
  • Emerging leaders seeking insight into climbing the ladder through action and impact; and
  • Anyone curious about how AI and innovation are reshaping industries like media, tech, and beyond

What You’ll Gain from Attending

  • Proven strategies for simplifying your priorities and turning bold ideas into action;
  • Real-world examples of how AI is being implemented today – and how to apply it in your business;
  • Insights on building influence without relying on seniority or titles; and
  • Candid reflections on leadership mistakes – and how to avoid them yourself

This is one not to miss – reserve your seat now and join us for a powerful evening of connection, insight, and inspiration.
