Renowned for his razor-sharp observational humor, effortless storytelling, and unique ability to find comedy in everyday life, Jimeoin has earned a reputation as one of the finest stand-up performers of his generation. His sell-out shows, television appearances, and international tours have delighted audiences around the world, making him a true master of his craft.

Jimeoin will take to the stage during our Gala Dinner, providing an evening of laughter and entertainment as delegates relax, connect with colleagues, and celebrate another successful conference. This is sure to be one of the highlights of the event and a performance not to be missed.

The Gala Dinner is proudly brought to you by our long-standing Platinum Sponsor, CR Kennedy

Our keynote speaker for the 2026 National Conference is Australian Cricket Legend Mark Taylor AO

Widely considered Australia’s finest modern-day cricket captain, now Channel Nine cricket commentator and keynote presenter. 

Thirty years ago, Mark Taylor, a young New South Wales opener, defied expectations on his debut Ashes tour of England, scoring a remarkable 136 runs in his first innings at Headingley. Despite being overlooked by bookmakers, Taylor's stellar performance led Australia to victory in the series, with him amassing 839 runs overall, second only to Don Bradman in an Ashes series. His achievements serve as a reminder that success is possible against all odds.

Retiring in 1999, Taylor left behind a legacy as one of Australia's greatest captains, earning praise from Wisden as the "greatest modern-day captain." Under his leadership, Australia dominated Test cricket, with Taylor himself achieving milestones like his record-equaling 334 not out against Pakistan. He played 104 Tests, captaining 50, and was renowned for his slip fielding.

Beyond cricket, Taylor was recognized for his contributions to cancer research fundraising and community service, receiving honors such as the Order of Australia and induction into various sports Halls of Fame. He continued his involvement in cricket through board positions and media roles, providing insights and expertise as a commentator and facilitator across the Nine Network and Sky Sports in the U.K.
