Our April 2026 Guest Speaker will be Brian Sobel. 

​

​

Brian’s talk is entitled “What it takes to be a Record Holder”

​

record attempts of all shapes and sizes and giving the final decision

of whether the attempt will be a success or failure, making it into

the world record books.

Brian comes from an entertainment background having previously performed as a professional acrobat around the world, starting in the USA, and moving on to the Caribbean and Europe. He’s always had a passion for performance, training and team efforts. In his travels he was blessed to meet his wife , an Australian woman whom he says he would follow anywhere around the world! They both currently live in Sydney with their two young children where he continues his work with Guinness World Records. 
 
Brian says he is excited to speak to us and he “will be discussing the unique experience of adjudicating record attempts. While the job may seem very black & white, there are always nuances when it comes to breaking records. Everyone attempts world records for a different reason, whether it is an individual athletic achievement, community charity event to raise awareness, corporate marketing campaign or anything in between. My role involves staying true to the integrity and difficulty of our rules/guidelines, while also listening to the very unique and personal needs of each person or group attempting records. In the talk, I’ll be highlighting various record attempts I’ve witnessed and discuss experiences, challenges, learnings and themes I’ve picked up on along the way. From the largest bowl of noodle soup, largest haka, the largest lego collection, strongest man, most ice cream eaten in a minute, and many more! I’ll open up a Q&A to discuss all things record breaking and beyond.”

​

Should be exciting!!!!
