Newley represented Australia at the Olympics in 2008 and 2012

Having suited up for Australia at a pair of Olympic Games, few know what representing your nation at the highest level feels like more than Brad Newley.

Across the Beijing and London Olympics, Newley faced off against stars like Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Manu Ginobili and the Gasol brothers, always doing whatever was asked of him to help the Boomers find success.

Now, ahead of the United in Business (UIB) Major Luncheon taking place on June 7 at CENTREPIECE, Newley spoke about his excitement to see how both the Boomers and the Opals can come together heading into the event.

“When it comes to representing your country, there’s nothing like it,” he said.

“Pulling on the green and gold at the Olympics is something I always wanted to achieve throughout my career and to do it twice was incredibly special.

“With Paris getting closer and closer, I think the whole country just gets more and more excited to see what our athletes will be able to do on the grand stage.”

The UIB Major Luncheon will provide an amazing opportunity to hear a preview of the games from some of the nation's most Iconic Olympic legends, such as Cathy Freeman, Andrew Gaze, Tess Madgen and Chris Goulding.

Combining this with the networking opportunity presented by bringing over 500 business minds from across industries at the Major Luncheon is something that Newley, who has transitioned into a front office role at United, believes is a can’t miss opportunity for those looking to grow their brand.

“I’ve been able to meet so many amazing people throughout my career who really thrive in the work they do away from the court,” he explained.

“Having an event like this is great because it brings together people from across industries to connect and network, while getting to hear from some of our country's sporting greats.”

For your chance to be a part of this, tables of 10 remain available for $3,500, while single seats are on sale for $375.
