FESPA Australia is pleased to announce entrepreneur, marketing expert and bestselling author Siimon Reynolds as the keynote speaker for the 2026 FESPA Australia Annual Conference, to be held on Friday, 16 October 2026 at the Shangri-La Hotel, Sydney.

Under the theme Disrupt. Innovate. Lead., this year’s conference will challenge delegates to embrace change, think differently and position their businesses for long-term success in a competitive marketplace.

Siimon Reynolds has built his career helping businesses grow through creativity and strategic thinking. He has won major international advertising awards for creative excellence and co-founded what became the 14th largest marketing communications group in the world. As a business mentor, he has coached hundreds of entrepreneurs, including five who have featured on the Australian Financial Review Young Rich List. He has presented to audiences of more than 60,000 people worldwide, sharing the stage with Richard Branson, Tony Robbins and former Australian Prime Minister Paul Keating, and his work has been covered by 60 Minutes, Bloomberg and MSNBC, among others.

His keynote address will offer strategies on leadership, marketing and innovation, and how delegates can apply them in a changing print and visual communications industry.

Nigel Davies, President of FESPA Australia, said: “We’re proud to welcome Siimon Reynolds as keynote speaker for our 2026 Annual Conference. Siimon has a rare ability to challenge how businesses think — and to turn that into action. Delegates will leave with practical ideas to shape the future of their businesses.”
