Built for different goals

There is more than one reason to be in the room.

People arrive at different stages and leave with different things. Pick the track that matches what you are actually trying to do.

Learn

Main stage sessions, workshops and the practitioners who will tell you what actually worked.

See the program

Build

Operations, hiring, pricing and the unglamorous parts of getting a thing off the ground.

Connect

Opening night, the receptions, and the conversations that happen between the sessions.

Hire

Employers and founders actively looking, in a room with people actually looking back.

Get support

Clinics, advisors and organisations whose whole job is helping you get unstuck.

Four days

More than a conference.

Opening night

The official start.

Opening remarks, the year's announcements, and the reunion that most people say is the real reason they come back.
