When a group of individuals believe in something higher than themselves, their work and impact can be exponentially greater.
With a love for working with people, Elia Hill, founder of ConnectingIN, created a business to connect for good. See Elia’s story below.
ConnectingIN was born out of a critical need and a clear gap in the marketplace to drive meaningful connection, contribution, and commercial collaborations within the sports, business, and government sectors. We achieve this through creating and maintaining strategic and rewarding partnerships that deliver high-impact and high-growth.
At the heart of what we do is our vision to action meaningful, positive change by embracing and identifying fresh innovative strategies and unique perspectives that others find daunting or may not have even considered.
As the founder of ConnectingIN, Elia Hill is a master connector — bringing together key people, resources, events and opportunities across various sectors.

Elia’s connections go beyond introductions; she facilitates meaningful engagements and leads stakeholder collaboration with purpose. Known for managing outcomes and ensuring the how and why behind every connection, she drives growth, impact, and lasting change across industries.
With a strategic eye for detail and a deep understanding of audience engagement, we curate high-impact events that inspire, educate and connect. From exclusive boardroom roundtables to dynamic large-scale conferences, Connecting IN thoughtfully designs every element to align with clear outcomes.
By sourcing global keynote speakers and respected industry leaders, we ensure every event sparks powerful dialogue, fosters innovation and delivers genuine value to all participants.

Trusted Relationships. Real Impact.
I work alongside organisations to build strong, genuine connections with government, community, and key stakeholders — helping turn good ideas into meaningful action.
How I support:
It’s not about who you know — it’s about building trust, working together, and making things happen for the greater good.
My love for sport began at just four years old when I fell in love with tennis. From that moment, all I wanted was to play, compete, and pursue a professional career. I was fortunate to play throughout my school years, travel, and eventually chose Tennis to be my profession, on and off the court.
It was in this space my passion for helping others was nurtured. The lessons of mentorship, resilience and collaboration shaped who I am today and led me to the work I do now: bringing people together, creating opportunities, and driving meaningful progress through the power of connection.
With over two decades of experience spanning sports, business, and government, I specialise in strategic planning, stakeholder management and relations, revenue and lead generation, sport commercialisation, innovation, and brand development. I thrive on taking on opportunities that others may find daunting—transforming penitential, stakeholder management into achievement. My leadership is rooted in collaboration, and I believe that true success comes from empowering others to reach their fullest potential.
At my core, I am a connector—bringing the right people, ideas, and strategies together to reshape progress and drive lasting change.

Everyone deserves a safe place to call home. For over a decade, the Vinnies CEO Sleepout has united business, community and government leaders to raise vital funds and awareness for Australians experiencing homelessness.

The Aussie Athlete Fund was created to build a sustainable athlete economy — ensuring that future generations can proudly wear the green and gold while securing their financial future beyond sport. No athlete should retire in debt; instead, they should have the education, connections and skills to thrive in life after competition.
I am proud to support this movement alongside incredible athletes like Natalie Cook OAM, helping to equip athletes and their families with the knowledge to fundraise and create long-term financial sustainability.
Through this Fund, businesses and individuals can make a real difference — whether through one-off contributions or long-term partnerships. As someone who has loved sport since childhood, I believe in this mission wholeheartedly. Too many talented athletes miss out on the opportunity to represent Australia simply because they can’t afford the rising costs of training, competition, and daily living. Together, we can change that.
