Warm up in Winter

What better way to spend a cold winter weeknight indoors with a bunch of like-minded, passionate individuals.

Following the success of our last event and hearing Elena's entrepreneurial journey, we've decided to bring on another unique speaker for our upcoming event.

Our speaker, Pearl Tan will be talking about DIVERSITY – a very topical discussion and one that holds close to many individuals' hearts.

She was named one of the Australian Financial Review and Westpac 100 Women of Influence in 2016 and delivered a TEDx talk on reimagining diversity in 2017. She is the creator behind the award-winning YouTube series ‘Minority Box’, and directed the feature film ‘The Casting Game’ in 2017.
