What an incredible afternoon of conversation & networking .... with an incredible bunch of the loveliest people 🥰

Today we hosted our 'Midday Mingle' lunchtime networking event at the beautiful Dandelion Lounge & Eatery at our Partner's

Delicious food, engaging conversations & even better company, created an ideal environment for the best connections!

One of the things we love most about hosting these events is the super casual nature, friendly vibes, and of course, seeing all the genuine connections that are made.

Thanks to all who came along & here's to more of this please! 🙌♥️

Another day ... another fabulous event!

Yesterday morning we were treated to an incredible 1-hour Masterclass from Belinda Sigismundi.

Belinda is a Principal Lawyer at our Premium Partner's Dandenong office - and specialises in intellectual property, trade marks, copyright & branding law.

Her Masterclass covered all of these topics and was not only insightful, but truly fascinating. It was great to get a simple explanation and gain a better understanding, of what can often be a minefield subject to navigate.

Thank you Belinda for your time and for sharing your expertise & wisdom to all in attendance. It's safe to say we all walked away with much greater knowledge of IP & Trade Marks after this event.

Last Thursday afternoon we had the privilege of attending our Premium Partner's International Women's Day event ... and what a wonderful time we had honouring this important occasion!

Our Vice President Brenda Garrard-Forster (MAHRI) and Executive Event Manager Jaqueline Seromenho were fortunate to be in attendance to hear an inspirational presentation from lawyer turned entrepreneur on her remarkable life journey & career.

As if that wasn't enough, the event was opened by Dandenong's Mayor Sophie Tan, who also shared details of her own equally impressive life story & career.

It's important to always embrace the connections we make, celebrate the strength of the women around us, honour our diversity and recognise women's achievements, every single day of the year.

However, serves as a great reminder to continue lifting each other up through shared experiences, support and connections. Thanks again for an inspirational afternoon 💜

Last Thursday we had the pleasure of participating in our Premium Partners South East Leisure's fabulous Padel & Networking event.

Hosted at their state-of-the-art facilities at the Noble Park Aquatic Centre (NPAC), the centre is truly impressive & boasts the first 3 Padel courts opened in the South-East region of Melbourne 🎾

Guests were treated to an afternoon of playing the exciting sport of Padel (most of whom had never played before), and received professional tuition from qualified Padel coach Pratish from Game4Padel Australia.

It was wonderful to see everyone getting in on the fun of Padel - (even full business attire couldn't stop guests from getting in on the action) - and of course, there was also plenty of time for networking and refreshments afterwards.

A big Thank You to the team at South East Leisure for having us! 😊

It was truly a fun, unique and creative way to network and bring the community together - and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute!
