NOC*NSF, the Dutch Olympic Committee and Sports Confederation, is in Brisbane in November, and we are hosting an evening around the visit on Thursday 12 November 2026. Registration opens shortly. For now, keep the date clear.

Olympic preparation, from both ends

Hanneke van den Pol, Team Leader of TeamNL Games Operations at NOC*NSF, will talk about how the Dutch are preparing for Brisbane 2032. Dominique Lamb, Director of Community Affairs to the President at the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, will set out where the city’s own preparations stand. Dr John Cowie, Head Economist at the Brisbane Economic Development Agency, will cover the State of the City report and what 2032 does to the investment picture.

Between them that is a rare thing to get in one room — the visiting delegation, the organising committee and the city’s own economists, all on the same evening.

Hosted by Randstad

Randstad, our Orange Sponsor, is hosting the evening. Founded in Amsterdam in 1960 and now the world’s largest talent company, they do in their own way what we do — connect the right people with the right opportunities.

What happens next

We are confirming the venue and the final programme now. Registration, the address and the full running order all follow in the next fortnight, here and in the monthly newsletter.

If you want to be told the moment tickets open, join the chamber or sign up to our newsletter at the foot of any page.
