Adelaide Networking Connections

28/08/2026

🎉 FOR THE FIRST TIME SEEN IN ADELAIDE… 🎉

Adelaide Networking Connections presents:

🏆 ANC BUSINESS BATTLE

The Business Quiz Night

The mystery is finally over — and tickets are now open on Eventbrite!

This is networking with a competitive twist.

Think business networking meets “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” — where meeting new people, working together and having some fun are all part of the experience.

And the best part?

You don’t need to come with a team.

Whether this is your very first ANC event, you’re a regular guest or an ANC member, we’ll place you into a team and introduce you to new people.

Then it’s time to put your heads together.

🧠 3 rounds of business questions
🔤 Multiple-choice answers
🃏 A strategic Joker Card
🤝 Teamwork and collaboration
💬 Plenty of opportunities to network
🎤 Everyone gets an opportunity to introduce themselves and their business
😂 Plenty of laughs and friendly competition

You don’t have to know every answer.

That’s the whole point.

Your team will combine its knowledge, experience and business brains to work out the answers together.

And when the final question is answered…

One team will walk away with the bragging rights and be crowned:

🏆 ANC BUSINESS BATTLE CHAMPIONS

WILL IT BE YOUR TEAM?

This isn’t about sitting quietly listening to speakers.

No keynote. No long, boring speeches.

It’s about getting involved, meeting people you may never have met before, starting conversations and creating genuine connections.

And if you’re thinking, “But I’m coming on my own…” — please don’t worry.

You will not be left standing in a room wondering who to talk to.

We’ll have a host there to welcome you, introduce you to the people on your team, and help you settle in from the moment you arrive.

You don’t need to know anyone beforehand, and you certainly don’t need to bring a group with you.

Come on your own and you’ll still be part of a team.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll also be sharing more information about exactly how the night will work, so when you arrive you’ll know what to expect and can feel comfortable walking into a friendly, welcoming space.

Our aim is simple: nobody should feel alone, awkward or intimidated.

We want you to walk in feeling welcome — and walk out having met people you’re genuinely glad you came across.

📅 Tuesday 15 September
📍 Parkside Hotel
🤝 Networking from 6:00pm
🚀 ANC Business Battle begins at 6:45pm

👀 TOMORROW… ALL WILL BE REVEALED!

We’ve been dropping a few hints over the past few days…

We’ve told you this is NOT your normal networking night.

We’ve told you there’ll be no keynote speaker and no long speeches.

We’ve told you that everyone will have the opportunity to introduce themselves and their business.

And we’ve told you to expect something a little different…
NETWORKING WITH A TWIST! 🎉

But we haven’t told you exactly what we’re doing… yet. 😉
Tomorrow, all will be revealed!

And when we make the big announcement, our COMPLIMENTARY TICKETS WILL OFFICIALLY BE RELEASED! 🎟️

📅 Tuesday 15 September 2026
📍 Parkside Hotel🤝 Networking from 6:00pm
🎉 Main event kicks off at 6:45pm

That gives you 45 minutes of networking before we get underway — plenty of time to meet new people, catch up with familiar faces, introduce your business and start making connections.

We think this is going to be one of the most interactive, entertaining and different networking nights we’ve held.

🧠 ONE FINAL CLUE…

You may want to brush up on your business knowledge!

Any guesses what we’ve got planned? 👀

Before all is revealed tomorrow, here’s a little question to get you warmed up…

❓ TODAY’S BUSINESS TRIVIA QUESTION

A) The Hon. Andrea Michaels MP
B) The Hon. Nadia Clancy MP
C) The Hon. Lucy Hood MP
D) The Hon. Chris Picton MP

👇 Think you know the answer?

Put A, B, C or D in the comments below!

And remember… NO GOOGLING! 😄

This is just a little taste of what might be coming…

👀 ALL WILL BE REVEALED TOMORROW!

🎟️ Complimentary tickets will be released at the same time.
Adelaide Networking Connections — where networking is about to get a whole lot more interesting!

25/08/2026

🤔 WHAT IF NETWORKING WAS ACTUALLY… FUN?

Networking doesn’t always have to mean standing around making small talk.

And it definitely doesn’t have to mean sitting through long speeches.

On 15 September, we’re doing things a little differently.

There’ll still be plenty of opportunities to meet new people, have genuine conversations and build business connections — and everyone will have the opportunity to introduce themselves and their business on the night.

So you won’t just be in the room.

You’ll be part of it.

And you may also need to bring along your competitive side. 👀

We’re not giving away the twist just yet.

But perhaps this will give you a little clue…

🧠 TODAY’S BUSINESS BRAIN-TEASER

What does QANTAS originally stand for?

A. Queensland and National Travel Air Service
B. Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services
C. Queensland Australian National Transport and Aviation Service
D. Quality Australian National Travel and Air Service

Think you know it?

Put your answer — A, B, C or D — in the comments.

And no Googling… we’ll know. 😂

📅 15 September
📍 Parkside Hotel
🤝 Networking from 6:00pm
✨ Main event from 6:30pm

No keynote. No long speeches. Plenty of connection. Plenty of opportunity to be seen and heard. And maybe just a little friendly competition…

Something different is coming.

Adelaide Network Connections
Where real opportunities begin with a conversation — not a payment.

20/08/2026

A statement Adelaide Networking Connections.

Firstly, we would like to thank Business House Australia and Keith and Elizabeth Gustavsson, as without their support when we first started, we would never have had the success of what we have achieved in networking today.

Adelaide Networking Connections was founded on a simple belief, that every

business owner deserves the opportunity to connect, learn, and grow, regardless of
their circumstances or stage of business.

From day one, our mission has been to create a welcoming, inclusive, and
supportive business community where relationships come before transactions.

Our philosophy has never changed, you should never have to pay simply to walk
through the door of a networking event.

Whether you're starting out, rebuilding, or leading an established organization,
everyone deserves the opportunity to build meaningful business relationships and be
part of a supportive community.

That's why our monthly evening networking events continue to be offered on a
complimentary basis.

Our purpose has never been to profit from bringing people together; it has always
been to create opportunities, encourage collaboration, and help South Australian
businesses grow.

Adelaide Networking Connections exists because of the incredible support of our
sponsors, members, and guests.
We are sincerely grateful to every business that sponsors our community and every
person who attends our events.

Every dollar received through memberships and sponsorships is reinvested back into
our community, supporting prizes, member initiatives, and new opportunities to add
value for the people who support Adelaide Networking Connections.

Our success is not measured by what we take from our community, but by what we
give back.

Recently, a number of our members and guests have contacted us after receiving
marketing communications from another networking organization.

Some also expressed concern that Adelaide Networking Connections may have
shared or sold personal information.

We want to reassure everyone that this is not how we operate. Adelaide Networking
Connections has never sold, shared or distributed the personal information of our
members or guests without permission.

Protecting the privacy and trust of our community has always been, and will continue
to be, one of our highest priorities.

While we cannot comment on the practices of others, we encourage all businesses
to make informed decisions about the organizations and people they choose to
support and to protect their personal information.
We believe successful businesses are built on professionalism, integrity, respect,
and genuine relationships.

Those values have guided us from the beginning and will continue to guide us into
the future.
Adelaide Networking Connections will continue to be a place where every business
owner is welcome, every person is treated with respect, and every connection is
made with integrity.

That commitment will never change.
To our sponsors, members, guests, and supporters: thank you.
Adelaide Networking Connections exists because of you.
Your support allows us to continue creating opportunities, building relationships, and
strengthening the South Australian business community.
We look forward to welcoming you to many more networking evenings in the years
ahead.

Ron and Karen Fiedler and The Adelaide Networking Connections Team.
