Revenue is changing. Is your operating model ready?

AI is reshaping how companies sell. Buying behaviour is changing. Revenue teams are converging. Sales, Marketing, Customer Success and Revenue Operations are being asked to operate as one system.

And the expectations placed on today's CRO are changing faster than most organisations can keep up with.

The Go-To-Market and Chief Revenue Officer Summit brings together a curated group of CROs, GTM leaders, RevOps executives and senior commercial leaders for one high-signal evening focused on what comes next.

Just sharp ideas, candid conversations, meaningful connections and recognition of the leaders moving the revenue profession forward.

WHAT TO EXPECT

THE KEYNOTE
How To Grow Your Business With Trust-Based Selling and the One Call Sale

Special Guest: Ari Galper
Global Leader in Trust-Based Selling | International Speaker | Award Winning Author

Something has shifted in the way people buy and most business owners have not caught up yet. Ari calls it the Trust Recession — a collapse of belief between buyers and sellers built on years of over-marketing and pressure dressed up as persuasion. You do not need a longer sales cycle. You need one trust-based conversation. When a prospect trusts you completely, they do not need three more meetings. They tell you the truth about where they stand, and that truth moves things forward faster than any follow-up sequence ever could.

THE EXECUTIVE PANEL
The New Revenue Engine — What is Actually Working in ANZ?

AI has made outreach infinite. Every buyer's inbox is flooded with machine-written messages, every pipeline dashboard promises automation, and every revenue leader is being asked the same question: what do we build, what do we buy, and what do we protect?

This panel answers it. Four senior commercial leaders discuss what they have actually changed in their revenue organisations, what they have stopped doing, and where human judgement remains the non-negotiable edge when everything else is being automated. The CRO role is being rewritten in real time. CEOs and boards are raising the bar. Sales, Marketing, Customer Success and Revenue Operations are being asked to operate as one system. No talking points. No safe answers. Just the decisions that are actually being made, the bets that paid off, and the ones that did not.

Confirmed panellist:
