Carlton IN Business (CIB), Australia’s leading corporate network in sport, has launched into 2026 with a bold new direction, unveiling national expansion, refreshed branding, and a suite of new offerings designed to deepen business engagement across the country.
In 2026, CIB is expanding its reach with the introduction of state-based memberships in New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, and Western Australia. Each region will be supported by a dedicated Business Connector, tasked with building local relationships and unlocking commercial opportunities for members.
The launch also introduces a refreshed calendar of premium experiences, including the debut of Leaders of Industry: The Penfolds Edition – a fine dining event for senior executives and Inspiring Stories – a forum to connect through the power of storytelling.
CIB’s commitment to professional development continues through its partnership with La Trobe Business School, offering members access to a MBA Unit and three MBA micro-units, showcasing our commitment to education and growth.
With a decade of impact behind it – including partnerships with brands such as Hyundai, Virgin Australia, and Penfolds – Carlton IN Business is positioning itself as the go-to network for businesses seeking authentic connection, commercial growth, and premium engagement.
As part of the 2026 launch, CIB has also unveiled a new logo and refreshed branding, reflecting the network’s evolution and future focus. The updated visual identity is designed to convey professionalism and connection. These changes are showcased on CIB’s newly launched website, which offers a streamlined user experience, clearer pathways to membership, and enhanced visibility for partners and events.
We are excited to welcome a new wave of members into the next era of Carlton IN Business, and equally thrilled to welcome back our valued existing members. Whether you’re looking to grow locally, expand nationally, or elevate your brand through meaningful relationships and premium experiences, now is the time to connect.
