About the speakers

Bryan joined Ocean Park Corporation in 2019 to play a key role in the opening of Water World, Asia's first all-weather, year-round seaside water park. Prior to joining Ocean Park, Bryan spent nearly three decades working for some of the world’s leading leisure entertainment companies. He began his aquatics career in 1994 as a waterpark lifeguard in Ocala, FL, USA. His career spans theme parks, waterparks, and FECs both large and small as well as corporate and privately owned. In 2012 Bryan made the international leap to join the pre-opening team for Yas Waterworld, Abu Dhabi. In 2018, he joined Dana Bay Tourism Co. to help with the development and launch of Loopagoon Waterpark, the Eastern Province’s first major waterpark. 

HKEX is home to Asia’s most dynamic and vibrant capital markets with a vision to build the marketplace of the future. Key to the success of Hong Kong and a global financial centre, HKEX also plays a broader role across the world. Prior to joining HKEX, Eric was Global Head of Brand at another Hong Kong brand powerhouse GP and prior to that helped create Hong Kong based luxury cruise brand, Dream Cruises. 

Having joined the Hong Kong Rugby Union in 2003 as the Community Rugby Manager, Robbie assumed the role of CEO in May 2017. Prior to the Union, he spent 11 years in the Hong Kong Police Force, where he served in a number of roles including presenter of the "Police Report" TV show. He has a MA (Oxon) and completed a PGC in Sports & Recreation Management at HKU Space in 2001.  He is Director of local charity Operation Breakthrough and was instrumental in setting up the HKRU Community Foundation, both of which use sport as a medium to tackle social issues. He was awarded a MBE in 2019 for services to philanthropy and UK-Hong Kong relations.
