Some upcoming events, and some stories to go with them
My Brisbane speaking tour is about to kick off
I wanted to send a note about some events coming up in the next few weeks in Brisbane.
May 4: I’ll be doing an event at River City Labs. RSVP here.
I have lots of fun memories of going to talks at RCL when we were first starting out (and so were they). The best speaker they ever got was Matt Barrie, at the time we all thought he was the king. After his talk we all hung around to chat to him some more, and also to eat more of the free pizza. I needed to leave to go to a birthday party and he convinced me to take a full pizza, still in its box, with me as I walked through the valley. Thanks Matt for ensuring I stayed fed.May 10: I’ll be doing an event at QUT. RSVP here.
We started our business while studying at QUT and I love going back and trying to meet the younger versions of us. I’ll be doing a Q&A and then kicking on to the Botanic Bar afterwards. If you buy me a beer, I’ll tell you how the bar got its name.May 12/13: Brisbane Workplace Innovation Hackathon. RSVP here.
We ran our first hackathon in 2015, and I’m pretty sure it’s still the best event in town for uni students (and graduates) who want to break into the industry. I haven’t been to a Brisbane hackathon since moving overseas (here’s some stories from the ones I ran) so I’m extra excited about this one. This year we’re teaming up with Tanda alumni at Visibuild and Hindsite to make the event even better.May 17. I’ll be doing an event at Cohort on the Gold Coast. I don’t have a good story for this one but it should be fun! RSVP here: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/fireside-chat-with-tanda-co-founder-alex-ghiculescu-tickets-623446504277
Thanks for reading, and hope to see you at one or more of these events. If you know of someone who’d find them interesting, do me (and them) a favour and pass this on.
