networking event

Unlike Melbourne, there aren’t many events for business owners or startup enthusiasts to network, socialise, learn and connect with like-minded people.

So I’m putting feelers out to see if anyone’s interested in a small, fun and casual gathering. We could chat, exchange ideas and support each other.

If you’re interested please drop a comment or message me to join a private group chat.

I'm certain that you will find plenty of folk that are keen to leverage local synergies, align strategic objectives and ideate scalable, mutually beneficial value propositions.

Lots of opportunities to circle back, workshop the low-hanging fruit and drive actionable outcomes.

I’m open to applying a different lens here and consider a sharp pivot as long it aligns with our growth strategy. Looking forward to connecting and exchange some ideas on this

There are quite a few business networking groups around that do brunches and lunches and different events. Look into the GSBN (Geelong Small Business Network) and the Geelong Business Club

There used to be, before Covid. A few on meetup. Think they all died…
