Join us for a FREE event Grit, determination and firing on all fronts: an evening with Olympian Matt Graham.
Hosted by award-winning podcaster Dr Claudia Lawson, this candid conversation will offer insights into Matt’s extraordinary journey from Gosford to the global stage, using sheer perseverance and resilience to become one of Australia’s most recognised and respected athletes.
As a four‑time Olympian free‑skier, dual Olympic medallist, and a proud alumnus, Matt will reflect on his experience at the highest level of elite sport, and the pursuit of excellence on the slopes and beyond. Guests will then be invited to ask Matt questions in an audience Q&A.
Following the event, we welcome you to join our relaxed gathering where canapés and drinks will be served.
Take the opportunity to check out the brand-new Gosford Central building which has been architecturally designed to reflect the unique character of the Central Coast.
