Briefing: Entrepreneurship to Island Ownership

Join us for an inspiring conversation with Che Metcalfe, a South Australian entrepreneur and the former CEO of Uniti Group, which sold for $3.7 billion in 2022. Today, he leads the transformation of Louth Island into Rumi on Louth – South Australia’s first
luxury off-grid eco-island based off the coast of Port Lincoln. His work blends business growth with regenerative design, driven by a belief that entrepreneurship can serve both people and planet.

Discover how he transformed a childhood vision into a reality that blends sustainability, innovation, and luxury, and what he learned along the way about resilience, risk, and redefining success. This is a rare chance to hear the behind-the-scenes story of one of SA’s boldest ventures—from boardroom battles to island restoration.

You will have the opportunity to network with other Platinum and Gold Members after the discussion, while enjoying Morphettville’s Brand new event space.

Masterclass: The Captain’s Guide to Leadership

Join former Port Adelaide Football Club Captain and Co-Founder of Hey Diddle Wines, Tom Jonas, for an inspiring and practical masterclass on leadership & culture building. Drawing on over a decade of elite-level experience, Tom unpacks what it takes to lead diverse personalities, build trust, and elevate those around you.

This session explores the power of understanding how individuals within a team learn differently—and how great leaders adapt their style to communicate effectively with all. Learn how to grow alongside your team, not just lead from the front, and how being a vocal, values-driven leader creates clarity, accountability, and a strong culture. Tom will also share insights on staying coachable, leading under pressure, and earning influence through consistent action. Whether you’re guiding a business, team, or organisation, this masterclass offers tangible leadership lessons that translate far beyond the field.

Set against the scenic backdrop of the Adelaide Hills, this is a rare opportunity to hear firsthand how South Australian innovation is propelling the future of motorsport, aviation, and space technology.

Matt Pearson is not just building the vehicles of tomorrow—he’s redefining the way we think about speed, sustainability, and the final frontier. From racing flying cars to re-imagining life beyond Earth, Matt will take us inside his bold vision for the future—and the wild ideas turning imagination into innovation.

The conversation will take place over a relaxed lunch at Howard Vineyard, a modern, family-owned estate known for its forward-thinking approach to wine making—an ideal setting to explore themes of innovation.
