Best in Tech Soiree

Curated evening where you'll meet founders and investors who've actually built something, relaxed enough to have proper conversations.

The draw here is the guest list: founders and investors from Australia's active startup scene, curated rather than open door, in a private venue where Chatham House rules mean you can talk freely without worrying about who's listening or what gets quoted back. It's formatted as an evening social rather than a structured panel or pitch fest, so conversation happens naturally over drinks. Expect to meet people across different parts of the ecosystem, from people you've crossed paths with before to founders and backers you've heard of but haven't had a proper chance to talk to. The dress code signals this is intentional and a bit more polished than the usual networking event.
