About the Event
End your week with purpose and perspective at the Sydney leg of the 2025 RMIA Risk Leader Tour – a relaxed Friday brunch at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA), with sweeping views of Sydney Harbour and the Opera House.
You’ll enjoy a full plated breakfast, fresh coffee, and maybe even a mimosa (or two), as you join fellow risk professionals for an energising morning of insight and connection.
The event features Peter Taylor, RMIA’s 2025 Risk Leader of the Year, in conversation with Ling Huang, 2025 Risk Manager of the Year – facilitated by RMIA CEO, Simon Levy. These leaders will share never-before-heard stories, lessons and practical takeaways from their impressive careers, followed by a live audience Q&A.
Whether you're new to the industry, well established, or somewhere in between – this event is your chance to connect with others in risk, build your network, and take away something of real value. No slides, no stuffy panels – just good food, great company, and conversations that matter.
