Football Queensland (FQ) is proud to announce that internationally renowned keynote speaker and award-winning broadcaster Joe Schmit will headline the 2025 Queensland Football Convention.
Critically acclaimed as a “must-watch” presenter, Schmit will deliver The Impact Playbook, a dynamic and high-energy session designed to help audiences discover practical ways to be more intentional and aware of their influence as leaders, colleagues, and community members.
“We are delighted to have Joe Schmit joining the 2025 Queensland Football Convention as a keynote speaker,” said FQ CEO Robert Cavallucci.
“Joe has enjoyed an illustrious career and brings a wealth of experience in inspiring audiences around the world. His ability to speak on leadership, growth, and building positive culture within high-performance teams aligns strongly with football in Queensland and with our community’s aspirations.
“I am confident that Joe’s message will provide immense value to all attendees, reinforcing our 2025 Convention theme of Elevate the Debate and supporting our core pillars of growth, sustainability, and technology. Alongside our other confirmed speakers, Joe’s presentation will help inspire clubs, coaches, and administrators to drive meaningful change across football in our state.”
In addition to a 25-year career as a keynote speaker, Schmit recently retired from an award-winning 40-year career in sports broadcasting with Minnesota’s KSTP-TV. He is also the author of two nationally recognised leadership books, Silent Impact, now in its second edition, and The Impact Blueprint, both of which have received national recognition, and is deeply involved in philanthropic and charitable work in his local community.
The Queensland Football Convention will once again bring together clubs, coaches, players, and industry leaders from across the state, providing a unique platform to share ideas, explore new opportunities, and strengthen the game’s future in Queensland.
