In Adelaide this April, as the AFL buzz takes over and the State comes alive with Gather Round – the Showcase SA Gather Round Lunch is shaping up to be the highlight of the business and sports calendar.
Held in the Grand Ballroom of Hilton Adelaide on Friday 5th April, from 11:00am – 2:30pm, this is not an event to be missed.

Kicking off with an opening by the Premier of South Australia, Peter Malinauskas, the lunch sets a high bar for prestige right from the start.
But the heart of the event lies in its speakers, each a legend in their own right within the AFL world. Their stories are set to captivate, and they’ll no doubt offer insights that resonate well beyond the sports field.

Known for his versatile roles across television, radio, and print, Andy brings a depth of knowledge and passion for sport thatās hard to match. As the host of Channel 7ās The Front Bar, his engaging storytelling and insider knowledge offer a unique perspective on the game that fans adore.
Billy Brownless will likely bring a mix of humour and poignant reflections from his time on the field.

His journey from a high-flying schoolboy star to an AFL powerhouse, and now a beloved media personality, mirrors the highs and lows of professional sports. His stories will offer a glimpse into the life of an athlete whoās lived through the gameās biggest moments.
Cameron Mooneyās narrative is one of passion and triumph. Drafted to North Melbourne and later becoming a key player for Geelong, Cameronās career is a testament to hard work and dedication.

Finally, Mark Bickley rounds out the lineup as the MC. His journey from the SANFL to leading the Adelaide Crows to back-to-back premierships is the stuff of local legend. His insights into leadership, teamwork, and overcoming challenges will resonate not just with sports fans but with anyone looking to lead their team to success. And from a true SA great!
