Gold Coast Theme:
❝ CONNECTION ❞
10 speakers. 10 powerful ideas. One stage built to shift the way you see
Connection isn’t a soft skill. It shapes how we lead, love, communicate, navigate complexity and create meaningful change.
From the biology of reconnection and the power of presence to cultural intelligence, invisible networks, courageous choices and leading through what we cannot see — our speakers will challenge assumptions, disrupt familiar thinking and reveal what becomes possible when genuine connection takes the lead.
These are not surface-level conversations.
They are bold ideas, lived experiences and powerful perspectives designed to stay with you long after the final speaker leaves the stage.
Because connection is more than something we feel.
It is where change begins.

"Connection"
A special thank you to Saname, our Major Event Partner, for their generous support of Mini TENx QLD and our VIP experience.
Speakers Tribe Authors Alumni
There’s something pretty special about seeing a speaker find their voice — and then put that voice into a book.
We’re proud to celebrate our Speakers Tribe Author Alumni, who have generously donated copies of their books as gifts for our
Mini TENx VIP guests.
These authors have walked their own journey from story to stage to page, and are now paying it forward by sharing their words, wisdom and stories with the next community of speakers and listeners.
Thank you to each of our authors for being part of "CONNECTION".
