YOU'RE INVITED TO JOIN US

We're whisking you away from Lot Fourteen in Adelaide CBD and welcoming you to Serafino Winery in McLaren Vale. Crafted to inspire genuine connections, powerful insights, and moments of renewal, this day offers space to pause, breathe, and explore the "why" behind our work—gaining fresh perspectives across business, creativity, technology, science, and impact.

- Conversations will unfold in every corner—whether through structured formats across our 3 x stages, or spontaneous moments that create lasting bonds.

- Mindfulness activities will offer moments to recharge, clear your mind, and find balance - while forging deeper connections.

- Bookable one-on-one sessions with founders, investors, and industry experts will help you foster strategic discussions and authentic connections.

Whether you’re a quiet observer drawn to deep dialogue, a social butterfly finding your tribe, or balancing work and life - there'll be something for you. When it's time to leave, you’ll carry a renewed sense of clarity, purpose, and community—a catalyst for rethinking how we grow, connect, and move forward, together.
