The Brief:

monday.com's Elevate returned to Sydney once again with its flagship customer conference, designed to inspire forward thinking teams navigating rapid technological and cultural change.

Hosted at ILUMINA Sydney, the event brought together product innovation sessions, customer success stories, and keynotes designed to leave audiences energised, motivated, and challenged.

Seeking a speaker whose story embodied perseverance, adaptability, and purpose driven ambition, monday.com identified a talent whose journey resonated far beyond sport or endurance.

The Collaboration:

Nedd Brockmann emerged as a powerful choice. A former electrician turned endurance athlete and social impact advocate, Nedd captured national attention after running 3,953 kilometres from Perth to Sydney in just 46 days, raising more than $2.5 million for homelessness. His journey, defined by grit, vulnerability, and relentless determination, has since inspired audiences across Australia.

Partnering once again with acta, the monday.com events team worked closely to secure Nedd for the Elevate panel session, ensuring his story aligned seamlessly with the event’s themes of growth, adaptability, and the future of work.

Through acta, the booking process was managed end to end, from initial brief through to confirmation, allowing the team to focus on delivering a high impact experience for attendees.
