Fresh Networking

13/10/2026

October is the month to set 2027 up properly 🚀

Join Fresh Networking as a new member in October and we will add two bonus months to your membership, plus free access to Fresh Academy, our workshop series on pitching, presenting and getting the most out of every meeting you walk into.

✅ 14 months of Fresh Networking membership for the price of 12. SAVE $579
✅ Two bonus months of hub meetings to build meaningful business connections
✅ Free networking courses: Practical workshops on pitching, presenting, and making every meeting count

That is 14 months of hub meetings for the price of 12, and the training that turns handshakes into referrals.

Why now? The last quarter is when most business owners are heads down finishing the year. The ones who are still winning work in February are the ones who spent October building the relationships. Give yourself a head start.

Terms & Conditions: Offer applies only to new Hub membership applications submitted from 1 to 31 October inclusive. Excludes renewals and memberships commenced before 1 October. Cannot be combined with any other offer, promotion or discount.

Your website might look great, but can the right people actually find it?

And when they do, does it give them a reason to choose you?

Join us for Culinary Connections: Get Found. Get Noticed. Get Chosen, a Fresh lunch at The George on Collins bringing Melbourne business owners and professionals together over great food and ideas you can take straight back to work.

Brenton Cannizzaro from Driver Web, Janine Morice from BrandOps Creative and Grant Ferguson from Calibre9 will share how Google and AI read your website, what makes a visual brand people remember, and how a better landing page turns visitors into real enquiries.

Thursday 29 October, 12pm to 3pm
The George on Collins, Melbourne C*D
$70.84, lunch included

There are only 30 tickets, so if this is one for you, now is the time. Secure your spot:

Networking is as much about how you say it as what you say. These small tweaks can make a big difference in how people remember you.

👏️ Save this for your next networking event or send it to someone who might find it useful.

You started the day with a plan...
Then came the emails. The meetings. The notifications. The “quick chat” that took 45 minutes.

AI was supposed to hand us our time back. So why is everyone still this busy?

On 7 October, leadership expert Julie Hyde is joining us at the Terminus Hotel in Fitzroy North to take that question apart over a BBQ lunch. Why busy is not the same as productive, what it is quietly costing you, and three things you can actually do about it from Monday morning.

Julie is the author of Busy? and You Always Have a Choice, and has spent 20 years helping business owners stop spinning and start moving.

Here is what you get: a BBQ lunch, a drink on arrival, a room full of local business owners worth knowing, and possibly your Tuesdays back.

Early bird tickets are $48.82 and close on 16 September.
After that they go up to $55.83, so if you have been meaning to book, do it now and spend the difference on a coffee you actually get to finish.
