We had a great morning today with the future leaders of our sector, gathering the 2024 intake of the Sport for Business PwC 30 Under 30.

This year’s group is full as ever of great stories of achievement and ambition and we can only hope as in previous years that the connections made in person today at the offices of PwC will come to life in many different ways as their careers develop.

Two of today’s intake had flown in from the UK and we had a video from Australia.

Each of those present had a chance to introduce themselves to the group and it was great to watch from the podium as everyone was fully engaged without any scrolling or checking of emails.

This was an engagement in the moment and so much better for it.

We heard from Marisa Kennedy of Paralympics Ireland and Scott Graham the CEO of Irish Squash, two alumni from previous years who spoke about their own career arc to date and offered hints and advice on how best to step forward.

We posed several questions to the group as well and we will report over the coming days on some of their thoughts and suggestions on media, conflict, networking, live events, and the way we might celebrate next year’s 10th anniversary of this listing.

Pictured above are the group together with one slightly over the threshold of 30.

They are a great bunch.

You can read more about them here and even keep the ball rolling by nominating a peer or colleague in advance of next year’s list.
