What a year it has been. From insightful interviews with industry leaders to some of the year’s most talked about moments at our events, the first 12 months at Forbes Australia have been nothing but extraordinary.
For more than 100 years, Forbes has championed success by celebrating those have made it and those who aspire to make it. Our mission for Forbes Australia is to continue to provide Australia’s creators, innovators and changemakers with the tools, insights and inspiration to ignite change and shape the conversation of the future.
When we launched, our Editor-in-Chief, Sarah O’Carroll, said ‘our promise is to tap into the deep well of Australian innovation‘ and we have done just that. We’ve highlighted the people and companies who are striving to solve some of the world’s greatest problems and who are innovating to forge a prosperous future for Australia, and we’re only just getting started.
We’ve been busy…
Six Magazine Issues
Over the past year, Forbes has embarked on a captivating editorial journey. From our launch issue, to the 50 Richest List, to the latest issue highlighting the work that ‘Venture Catalyst‘ Carol Schwartz AO is doing to support female VCs, each edition has been a testament to our unwavering commitment to deliver excellence.
These stories have captured the essence of Australian leadership, innovation, and entrepreneurship, showcasing prominent figures such as billionaire Richard White whose software powers half the world’s transport logistics, blockchain gaming pioneers Robbie & James Ferguson and ‘turnaround boss‘ Christine Holgate whose resilient approach to leadership left 1600 people in awe at the Women’s Summit. These are the game-changers who have stories of their own success and failures that we can all learn from.

In March this year, we had our sold-out Forbes Australia Women’s Summit, which sought to address the unique challenges faced by women in business and provide a platform for growth, connection and change. 1600 people filled the room to hear from speakers like Miranda Kerr, Wendy McCarthy AO, Christine Holgate and many more. An event that is still being talked about months later.
