Max Walker has travelled an amazing road from schoolboy sporting prodigy to having one of the most recognisable faces and voices in Australia. Along the way he played cricket for Australia (at Test level), and in New Zealand, in a golden era, VFL/AFL football for the Melbourne Football Club, has taken centre stage in the sports media arena and authored 13 books.

Academically he qualified from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology with a Fellowship Diploma of Architecture and practiced as an architect for 10 years. Today he is a successful entrepreneur with directorships in a number of companies, a writer and a speaker extraordinaire. He is one of Australia's most sought after keynote speakers and Masters of Ceremonies – a man once described as being able to talk under water with a mouthful of marbles.

Max has experienced most speaking scenarios in a diverse range of locations – from magnificently appointed high-tech theatres and glamorous ballrooms, to the outdoor arenas of the Australian desert. It is his experience, confidence and ability to deliver that takes the risk or “unknown quantity” from the speaker equation.

Max has hosted 3,000 plus hours of live television, bringing another strong positive to the presenter role. He is well educated, well travelled, a wonderful story teller and a successful businessman.

His speaking roles (almost 4,000).... have included formal Master of Ceremonies to hosting complex award events..... keynotes, workshops, after dinner and gala ball extravaganzas. They have enabled Max to travel to most parts of Australia and the world; destinations such as New York, Hong Kong, Japan, Dubai, Rio de Janeiro, Bangkok, Vancouver, Cape Town, Hawaii, Johannesburg, Singapore, Harare, London and Auckland.
