We’ve seen a strong start to 2026, with six major events already delivered and another on the horizon. A positive reflection of the continued engagement within the Carlton IN Business network.
We are now set to launch our Purpose Led Event series, centered around a curated range of themes including Future Thinking, Sustainability, Property and Workplace Wellbeing. This series is designed to provide greater relevance and choice, allowing members to engage more deeply in topics that align with their business priorities and personal interests.
Our inaugural State Based event series has now concluded, with successful engagements delivered across Adelaide, Sydney, Perth and Brisbane.
Each event brought together new networks alongside our existing Carlton IN Business members, creating fresh connections, diverse perspectives and meaningful conversations.
We thank everyone who joined us on this important step in our national expansion ahead of 2026 and we look forward to continuing to grow and strengthen our network across Australia.

Tip for May: Leverage your connector at events
“We talk a lot about the value of being in the room. But the members who get the most out of CIB are the ones who work the room before they’re even in it.
Your connector knows the people, the dynamics, and the opportunities in this network better than anyone. So use them! Before your next event, tell them who you’re hoping to meet, what you’re working on, or simply where you’d like to sit. Let them do what they do best.
And when it’s over – close the loop. Share who you connected with, what sparked, and what you’re hoping comes next. Your connector can help nurture those relationships, turning initial connections into ongoing, valuable opportunities within the network.
The best outcomes in CIB rarely happen by accident. They happen because someone asked.”
We are excited to welcome to the CIB team, Sophie Lewis and Sam Durdin as the newest Business Connectors .
Sophie Lewis joins us from Brook Recruitment, where she spent three years as Marketing and Operations Manager. She brings a warm, vibrant energy to the team and has already built strong relationships across the network, making an immediate impact with members.
Sam Durdin joins us from Cricket Australia, bringing fresh perspective and a great energy into the CIB team. His experience and approach have already added real momentum to the group.
We’re thrilled to have these two on board and look forward to the impact they will continue to make within the Carlton IN Business community.
Carlton IN Business Gold Partner IKON Services and Platinum Partner Bupa have come together in a powerful example of the strength of the Carlton IN Business network. IKON has officially partnered with Bupa to provide health insurance solutions for their staff, demonstrating how connections within our network translate into real commercial outcomes. This collaboration highlights the value of our network in helping organisations build meaningful and enduring relationships. It’s a great outcome for both partners and a strong reminder of what’s possible when our business community works together.
