Editor's Note

On November 19 in Sydney, we will for the first time reveal the 2025 Fast50 business in five revenue brackets, providing a view of growth in different tiers - and for the first time, which companies earned a Profitability Award.

I will also present data about this year's Fast50 club's growth, and discuss navigating the growth curve in 2026 with CEOs Natalie Legg and Navneesh Garg from Fast50 firms A23 and Adactin, IBRS Advisor Dr Joseph Sweeney, and AMD Commercial Lead Francis Mammone.

I'll also discuss financing growth with Macquarie Bank National Segment Head – Technology | Business Banking, Sarah Kirk. And I'll ask Tech Data APAC General Manager – Cybersecurity, Craig Ashwood, about turning Microsoft security into profitable managed services.

Doors open at 4pm at the W Hotel. If you'd like to purchase a ticket let us know here.
