TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK
Get your bowling shoes out, as we're shaking up the ol' panel/keynote format!
Over the course of the night, you'll hear from a host of inspiring voices before showing off your bowling skills in a friendly competition against other sector-specific teams.
Think FinTech, AgriFoodTech, Investment, SaaS, Space, Defence, EdTech, Impact, CreaTech and more - we'll group you into sub-sectors based on your registration input.
Each team will have a designated host tasked with tying the conversation threads together & ensuring you walk away with actionable learnings.
Take advantage of the strategic benefit of connecting with industry leaders from your sector and beyond, and watch it play out in years to come!
AUTHENTIC CONVERSATIONS, DRIVEN BY ACTION
"How do we take advantage of technological advances to give our kids a better education than we had?"
"How can we better invest in our city's assets to create a thriving environment to live, work & play in? What startups are part of those assets?"
"How do we actively influence a higher proportion of women founders to be funded?"
These are just some of the conversations that (y)our community want to have, and we know those moments to connect with those who can enable the change we yearn for can be few and far between.
That's what makes _SOUTHSTART events so magical. Not only will we discuss what needs to happen, but you'll be surrounded by others actively using business as a part of the solution and will help you navigate (y)our next steps.
CATERED EVENT, ROLLING WITH THE TIMES
Of course, no event is complete without delicious food and refreshing drinks to energise you all night. Your ticket includes a welcome drink and food. Please note that in the case of bad weather, we will roll into a quiz night at the same venue. Think: same energy, different activity!
NO EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY
Everyone is welcome, whether you're a seasoned pro or a first-time bowler! Coaches from the club will be assigned to each team, ensuring everyone has a great time - no prior experience is necessary.
BUILDING STRONGER FUTURES
This event is delivered in partnership with the Adelaide Economic Development Agency, as we proudly work to showcase and mobilise the opportunities that exist to invest in Adelaide. Designed for Life.
