Walked in with a half-built website and walked out with the next three things to fix. Every other workshop I've been to is selling something — this one wasn't.
Where the work happens.
Our events are how the Growth Hub shows up in the neighbourhood — practical workshops, founder mixers, free clinics, and an annual summit. All in Canberra, mostly free, always inclusive.
What's coming up.
Workshops, mixers and clinics across the next few months. Tap any event to see the details.
The orgs who make
the room happen.
Speakers, sponsors, co-hosts, help-desk volunteers. Some are with us every event; others come in for the specialised ones. All show up.
Six voices.
One room at a time.
Testimonials from attendees of recent events. No promo. No marketing speak.
I'd never been in a room with twenty other migrant founders before. Everyone got it. I didn't have to explain.
Showed up to office hours with a grant draft that wasn't going anywhere. Left with a re-scoped application that got funded six weeks later.
Best two hours of CPD I've done all year. I'm a sparky, I don't usually rate workshops — this one I'd send my apprentices to.
It's the quiet catch-up area that did it for me. I'm autistic — most networking is exhausting. They thought about it.
Genuinely the only event where I've ever been introduced to a customer in the same hour I met them. Not the keynote — the side conversation.
Run an event with us.
We co-host with partners every month — workshops, panels, clinics, mixers. If you've got an audience that needs the room, or a session you've been meaning to teach, let's talk.
What we co-host best
- Practical, hands-on workshops (max 2 hours)
- Founder mixers with structure — not just drinks
- Drop-in clinics on specific topics (grants, AI, tax, cyber)
- Annual or seasonal summits with multiple tracks
- Community circles for under-served founder groups
Write us a line.
We'll write one back.
Not a form funnel. Not a "discovery call". Just a real message to a real person in Canberra who'll read it, think about it, and reply.
