Fremantle’s most powerful leadership lunch returns with Todd Sampson keynote: “Wired to Win”
The Fremantle Chamber of Commerce (FCC) has unveiled its most anticipated leadership event of 2026, announcing that iconic Australian thinker and provocateur Todd Sampson will headline the “Wired to Win” Leaders Lunch 2026.
Set to take place on Thursday 18 June 2026 at Esplanade Hotel Fremantle by Rydges, the event will bring together CEOs, founders, senior executives and emerging leaders from across Fremantle and greater Perth for an afternoon designed to sharpen thinking, stretch ambition and re-wire how leaders perform under pressure.
This is not another motivational lunch.
Wired to Win is a bold, fast-moving and unapologetically future-focused deep dive into how elite performers think, decide, adapt and win in complex, high-pressure environments. Drawing on neuroscience, psychology, behavioural science and real-world business insight, Todd Sampson will challenge leaders to rethink what it truly takes to stay ahead in a world that refuses to slow down.
Todd Sampson is calling on Fremantle and Perth’s business leaders to activate their brain’s full potential.
“You can supercharge your brain power and creativity at any time.
“Let me take you on a journey with specific tools to strengthen different parts of your brain to solve business and life challenges.”
Chrissie Maus, CEO of the Fremantle Chamber of Commerce (FCC), said the 2026 Leaders Lunch reflects the calibre of leadership Fremantle continues to attract and cultivate.
“This event is for leaders who don’t want to coast. It’s for the curious, the courageous and the commercially switched-on. Wired to Win is about building leaders who can cut through noise, lead with clarity and perform when it matters most. Todd Sampson doesn’t just inspire, he fundamentally shifts how you think, and that is exactly the kind of experience we want to bring to Fremantle’s business community.”
FCC President Ivan Dzeba said securing Todd Sampson underscores the Chamber’s commitment to delivering world-class thought leadership with tangible impact.
“Fremantle has always been a city of enterprise, creativity and courage and today that spirit is more alive than ever. The FCC Leadership Lunch is about backing the businesses and leaders who are shaping what’s next for our Port City. This event brings together the thinkers, the doers and the disruptors who are driving real economic momentum and ensuring Fremantle remains one of Western Australia’s most dynamic places to invest, grow and do business.”
Many Australians know Todd Sampson as one of the country’s sharpest and most original thinkers on human potential, persuasion, brand psychology and performance. Beyond television, he has advised some of Australia’s most respected boards and organisations and is widely regarded as one of the nation’s most compelling leadership voices.
The 2026 Leaders Lunch will also celebrate Fremantle’s unique leadership culture, bringing together business, government and community decision-makers in a room where bold conversations happen and meaningful connections are forged.
