If you care about building, creating, or making a difference - you belong here
SOUTHSTART · RESONANCE is where Australia’s innovators come together to pause, connect, and build what’s next, together. Across three days of conversation, collaboration, and shared experience, we create the conditions for meaningful progress: the kind that starts in a moment and carries long after you’ve gone home. We celebrate the space between - the honest stories, the unexpected connections, and the quiet clarity that comes from being surrounded by people who get it.
SOUTHSTART brings together founders, investors, and industry leaders who are actively shaping the future of innovation. Across curated sessions, social gatherings, and shared experiences, you’ll form genuine relationships that lead to collaboration, capital, and long-term partnerships.
LEARN FROM EXCEPTIONAL BUILDERS
Gain insight from people who are building, funding, and scaling real ventures. From founders who’ve done it before to investors spotting what’s next, every conversation offers practical lessons and new ways to think about growth, technology, and leadership.
ACCELERATE YOUR GROWTH
SOUTHSTART is designed for action. Discover partnerships, customers, and projects that accelerate momentum - whether through investor meetings, deal rooms, or industry forums. It’s the place where ideas move from discussion to delivery.
TIME TO THINK BIGGER
Step out of the everyday and reconnect with your broader vision. Expect three days of immersion, reflection, and inspiration help you reset, refocus, and return to your work with clarity, confidence, and renewed energy.
