​
Global Horizon Alliance (GHA) is a globally led partnership between Australia Made USA (Los Angeles) and Australia Cultures Connect (Brisbane) to seize the historic seven-year strategic window by connecting two Olympic host cities to the world.
We are a global supergroup of USA, AU and UAE based Australiasian professionals in arts, entertainment, major events, sport, trade and investment- bringing together our collective expertise, local knowledge, networks and passion to help organisations leverage the extraordinary opportunities that LA 2028 and Brisbane 2032 represents.
Delivering at Games level demands more than experience. It demands local knowledge that cannot be bought or briefed. GHA’s founding partners are embedded into both Los Angeles and Brisbane with established relationships in each city. This on ground presence means organisations gain a partner who already knows the landscape, the people and the pathways, removing barriers and accelerating delivery at every stage.
Globally Led. ​
Creatively Driven. ​
Strategic & Purposeful.
