SUMMARY:OMSB Evening Experience
DESCRIPTION:OMSB was created to change the way men connect. \n  \nThere are no business pitches\, no formal agenda\, and no pressure to be anything other than yourself. It’s a space where honest conversations\, shared experiences\, and genuine friendships come first. \n  \nBecause the strongest connections aren’t built through networking—they’re built through trust\, authenticity\, and simply showing up for one another. \n  \nNot Networking\, Connection \n  \nWe eliminated everything people dislike about conventional networking to make an intimate\, highly curated\, invitation-only experience and community. Complete with a connection framework designed to accelerate the building of relationships and mutual understanding without being “sold to.” This is Un-Networking. \n  \nIt’s Common Sense\, yet almost every other networking event doesn’t understand the audience attending—who they are as a person or what’s most important to them. People want to work with those they like\, and to like someone\, you must know them. The stronger the relationship\, the more connected you are. The more connected you become\, the longer business relationships will last. We understand you are more than what you do and celebrate and showcase this. We don’t guarantee leads; we enhance relationships. \n  \nWe remove the uncertainty around who you should be introduced to and why.\n\nWe eliminate superficial small talk like “So\, what do you do?” to go beyond the mundane talk about sports or house prices. We focus on ensuring everyone quickly builds deep connections and high levels of trust. \n  \nYou will not be met with hundreds of business cards thrown at you or a room full of people selling while no one is listening. We call this Business Relations (BR). We are told we are different. We like to think everyone should receive this level of respect. \n  \nOur promise is that at each Uncommon Experiences event you attend\, you will leave more inspired\, energised\, connected\, and motivated than when you walked in. \n  \nWhen was the last event you attended that offered this kind of promise? \n  \nPurpose of Each Event \nA fun and relaxed night out with your peers. We’ll help facilitate new and meaningful relationships.\n▪ Meet someone new\n▪ Reconnect with someone you know\n▪ Learn something new\n▪ Be reminded of something you know to be valuable but have forgotten \n  \nWho Attends These Events? \nThese dinners are for business owners\, thinkers\, and strategists who want to meet other abundance thinkers. \n  \nCan Anyone Attend This Dinner?\nNot exactly. This dinner is for men and is by invitation only. We’re happy to review anyone you think would be a good fit\, but it is a private dinner\, and they can attend a future event. \n  \nIf You’d Like to Invite a Guest to Join:\nPlease check that he meets the following key criteria before extending an invitation: \n\nIs somebody you’d willingly invite to dinner at your own home\nSomeone who actively helps others\nHas an abundance mindset\nA friend you feel you can rely on in any situation\n\n  \nGot Questions?

SUMMARY:Uncommon Local - West Day Experience
DESCRIPTION:“Monthly Friday lunches that help good people build genuine local friendships.”  \n  \nMaking friends as an adult is hard. Finding people who live near you and whom you genuinely enjoy spending time with is even harder. \n  \nIt’s strange when you think about it. As kids\, friendships happened naturally. At school\, on the sporting field or simply by asking\, “Do you want to play?” As adults\, somehow it turns into calendars\, cancelled plans\, group chats that slowly die and months of saying\, “We should catch up soon.” \n  \nMost of us chose where we live for a reason. More space. Better schools. A quieter lifestyle. To be closer to family. Maybe a tree change or a sea change. We love where we live\, whether that’s the West\, the Yarra Ranges\, Mornington Peninsula\, Daylesford or Macedon. \nThe irony is we often know people all over Melbourne\, but hardly anyone around the corner. \nSomewhere between careers\, raising families\, renovating houses\, walking the dog and trying to stay on top of life\, local friendships quietly disappeared. We don’t think it happened overnight. It just happened. \n  \nThat’s why we created The Uncommon Local Experience. \n  \nIt’s a simple idea. Once a month we choose a great local venue and invite good people to share lunch together. No private rooms. No name tags. No awkward networking games. No forced introductions or carefully planned seating charts. Just a relaxed lunch where conversations happen the way they always have—naturally. \n  \nYou order a main meal from the menu\, grab a drink if you’d like one\, sit wherever you feel comfortable and enjoy a couple of hours with interesting people who happen to live nearby. Bring a friend if you like\, or come on your own. You’ll quickly realise everyone is there for the same reason. \n  \nWhat surprises people is how quickly it feels normal. Someone recommends a local café you’ve never heard of. Someone tells you about a walking track nearby. You discover you both have kids at the same school\, support the same football club or live five minutes from each other. Before long\, these aren’t just people you met over lunch. They’re the people you’ll bump into at the market\, wave to at the dog park\, see at your local café or message when you feel like getting out for breakfast. \n  \nThat’s why people keep coming back. \n  \nOne lunch is enjoyable. Coming regularly is where the magic happens. Familiar faces become friends. New people are welcomed in. The group grows\, but it never loses the relaxed feeling that made people fall in love with it in the first place. It doesn’t feel like networking because it isn’t. It’s simply life happening around a table. \n  \nEvery month we also choose somewhere different\, giving members an excuse to discover another corner of Melbourne. Many people leave with a new favourite restaurant\, a weekend destination or somewhere they return to later with family and friends. \n  \nBy the time Friday arrives\, you’ve usually spent the week looking after work\, clients\, colleagues or family. The weekend will be busy too. We think taking a couple of hours once a month to invest in yourself is one of the healthiest things you can do. \n  \nThe Uncommon Local Experience isn’t about collecting business cards or building a network. \nIt’s about building a life. \n  \nA life where you know the people around you. Where you have someone to call for a coffee\, a walk\, lunch or a last-minute catch-up. The kind of life most of us thought we’d naturally have by now. \n  \nIt turns out all it really takes is putting good people around one table. That’s why we call it The Uncommon Local Experience. \n  \nBecause in today’s world\, genuine local connection has become surprisingly uncommon. \n  \nGot Questions?

SUMMARY:The Invisible Edge by Elena Vereskova
DESCRIPTION:You’ve built the experience. You understand strategy. You know how to solve problems and make things happen. \nBut what happens when more strategy\, more effort and more experience stop producing the next level? \nWhat if the real limitation isn’t the visible business problem — but something operating beneath it? \nIn this Uncommon Masterclass\, Elena Vereskova draws on her background in corporate finance and consulting and her work today in transformational psychic coaching to explore the invisible forces behind visible results — subconscious patterns\, internal beliefs\, perception\, intuition\, resonance and energetic state. \nNot to tell you what to believe. \nBut to invite you to look at your business — and yourself — from a perspective you may never have considered. \nWhat if your next edge lies in something you haven’t learned to see yet? \n\nWHY ATTEND\nWhat if the problem you’re trying to solve isn’t the real problem?\nBecause you may not need another strategy.You can know exactly what needs to be done and still find yourself hesitating\, overthinking\, forcing — or repeatedly arriving at the same ceiling. \nBecause repeating patterns are information.The same revenue ceiling. The same difficult relationship. The same type of client. The same hesitation around visibility\, money or growth. Different circumstances can sometimes reveal the same underlying pattern. \nBecause what you see isn’t necessarily all that’s there.Your beliefs and internal filters influence what you notice\, how you interpret events and which opportunities you recognise. Two business owners can encounter the same market\, challenge or conversation — and see entirely different possibilities. \n\nWHAT WE WILL SHOW YOU\nWhat is operating beneath conscious decision-making?\nThe invisible operating system behind visible results.How subconscious beliefs and internal patterns can influence behaviour and decisions — even when they contradict what you consciously want. \nHow perception shapes your experience.Why the same circumstance can mean something completely different to two people — and how the meaning you assign to an event can influence your response\, decisions and eventual outcome. \nThe role of intuition and resonance.What changes when you pay attention not only to strategy and data\, but also to your internal state\, instinct and the less obvious information available to you. \nWhat happens when you start noticing what you previously overlooked.We’ll explore intuition\, synchronicity and those unexpected moments — a person\, idea\, conversation or opportunity appearing at exactly the right time — that conventional business thinking doesn’t always know what to do with. \n\nWHAT ARE THE BENEFITS\nWhat changes when you can finally see the pattern?\nSee the problem differently.Recognise where the visible business challenge may actually be a symptom rather than the source. \nRecognise your filters.Become more aware of the assumptions and beliefs influencing what you notice\, dismiss\, pursue or avoid. \nMake decisions with greater awareness.Begin distinguishing between decisions coming from clarity and those influenced by fear\, conditioning or unconscious resistance. \nExpand the intelligence you use in business.Explore how analytical thinking\, subconscious awareness and intuition can work together rather than compete. \n\nWHAT WILL YOU WALK AWAY WITH\nA different way of seeing what happens next.\nA new lens for challenges and opportunities.Instead of automatically asking “What else should I do?”\, you’ll have a way to examine what may be operating beneath the problem. \nQuestions that expose hidden patterns.What keeps repeating? What am I assuming is true? What do I consciously want — and what might I believe about actually having it? \nGreater awareness of what you may be overlooking.An opportunity\, connection or solution may not always be missing. Sometimes we simply haven’t recognised its significance yet. \nAnd perhaps one thing about yourself or your business that you simply hadn’t seen before. \n\nHOW WILL YOU FEEL AFTER — THE 1% ER\nCurious. More aware. And possibly a little uncomfortable.\nCurious — because some of what we explore may challenge the way you normally think about business and success. \nMore observant — because once you begin recognising patterns\, filters and unexpected connections\, they become difficult not to see. \nEmpowered — because seeing what may be operating beneath the surface gives you somewhere new to work from. \nAnd perhaps you’ll leave wondering: \n“If that’s what I can see in an hour\, what am I still not seeing?”\n\nWHO SHOULD YOU INVITE — AND WHY?\nThe successful business owner who has hit an invisible ceiling.They’ve built something substantial\, but more of the same isn’t creating the breakthrough it once did. \nThe strategic thinker who suspects there is more to success than strategy.They value logic\, evidence and experience — but are curious about intuition\, subconscious patterns\, resonance\, energy and the things conventional business conversations rarely address. \nThe entrepreneur who keeps encountering the same pattern in different forms.Different people. Different strategies. Different years. Somehow\, something familiar keeps returning. \nThe leader who notices the unexpected.The right conversation. An unexplained gut feeling. A seemingly coincidental introduction. An opportunity that appears at exactly the right moment — and wonders whether there is more information available than we normally pay attention to. \nThe person who has achieved enough to know that more information isn’t always the answer. \nAnd especially: \nThe person who is successful enough to question what they already know.\nBecause your next edge may not be another business strategy. \nIt may be discovering what you don’t yet know about yourself.

SUMMARY:Members Dinner Lite
DESCRIPTION:Some of the strongest relationships in Uncommon have started around a dinner table. \n  \nOur Mini Members Dinner is a more intimate version of our Members Only Dinner\, bringing together a small group of members for deeper conversations and stronger connections. With fewer people around the table\, there is more opportunity to share experiences\, exchange ideas\, and truly get to know one another. \n  \nNo presentations\, no formalities\, and no agenda—just great food\, meaningful conversations\, and the chance to build relationships that extend well beyond the evening itself. \n  \nGot Questions?

SUMMARY:The Abundance Experience
DESCRIPTION:We crave connection and growth. To find it we often turn to networking organisations – all of them characterised by shallow conversations\, transactional relationships\, and the anxiety of impressing others. Lacking trust and accountability. \n  \nThe secret to success in life and business is learning how to connect and form relationships with other people. \n  \nHow can deep relationships be formed based on mutual trust and accountability? How do you rediscover intimate business relationships with depth and meaning? \n  \nThe answer isn’t another app\, networking organisation or course. The answer lies in deep peer-based relationships that start with an abundance mindset at their foundation. \nBy building a space and a framework for giving we build greater trust\, collaboration and abundance in our lives. \n  \n3 reasons why this works:\n• 𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲: Give before you ask.\n• 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞: Build trust and collaboration.\n• 𝐒𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠: Create a space for giving. \n  \n𝐀𝐝𝐝 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐃𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 \n\nNetworks are a vehicle for creating value for everyone\, not just claiming it for ourselves.\nIn traditional old-school reciprocity\, people traded value back and forth by only helping the people who helped them and giving to the people from whom they wanted something in return.  \n  \nTo spark a more powerful form of reciprocity instead of trading value\, the aim is to add value. \n  \nThe simple rule of attendance: 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐯𝐞-𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐫:\nYou must be willing to do something that will take you five minutes or less for anybody in the room. \n  \nThis increases results by opening the door for you and others to gain benefits from people they’ve never helped— or even met. By creating a norm of adding value\, you transform giving from a zero-sum loss to a win-win gain. \n  \n𝐍𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞\nThe key benefits of participating in an abundance circle are:\n• Real problems are solved\n• Increase in knowledge\n• Achieve your goals\n• High-quality connections\n• Career boost\n• Happiness and Health\n• Trust building\n• Reputation increase \n  \n𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐬:\n• What you know (your knowledge)\n• What you can do (your skills)\n• Whom you know (your network)\n• What you have (your resources) \n  \nBy developing a strong network\, people gain invaluable access to private information\, diverse skills\, expertise\, and influence. \n  \nPeople go unappreciated because they give everything away for free to the wrong people.

SUMMARY:Dink Tank
DESCRIPTION:Successful leaders embracing the beginner mindset. We’re a closed-invite crew learning\, laughing & leveling up on the pickleball court. \n\n\n\n\nLeave the titles at the door\, pick up a paddle\, and let’s play. \nNo matter how much success you’ve built in your career or business\, there’s always a new skill to master—and that’s exactly the magic of this group. We are a closed-invite crew of like-minded founders and senior leaders getting together to learn\, laugh\, and level up on the pickleball court. \nWhether you’re a seasoned player or just trying to figure out how to stay out of the kitchen\, this is a space to embrace the beginner mindset alongside great company. Come for the game\, stay for the laughs\, and connect with a fantastic community. \nWhen: 2nd/3rd Friday of the month (August\, September\, October) \nHow the Session Runs: \n\nWarm-Up: We kick things off at 9:00 AM sharp with a quick stretch and warm-up to get moving.\nThe Games: We are strictly capping this at 8 people to ensure everyone gets plenty of playtime (though we may expand to 3 courts/12 people in the future!).\nThe Skills Block: Right in the middle of our games\, we’ll break for a dedicated 15-minute skills block led by our resident coaches\, Courtney Smith and Adam Lopez.\nPost-Game Hydration (10:00 AM onwards): Stick around after the games for an optional hydration session. It’s a completely casual connect with great people\, and shoot the breeze.\n\nWhere the Money Goes: The $25 fee covers court hire and helps prevent no-shows. We are in this for the game and the crew\, not for profit. Any surplus funds at the end of the year will be put toward building future talent—either by funding a Common Grounds Internship or via a donation to Monash Business School. \nRSVP: Please secure your spot via this Eventbrite link. This is a closed group for the main crew\, but if you have a like-minded friend who fits the vibe\, feel free to invite them along! \nA Note on November… 🎄 For our regulars and the absolute legends of the group \, save some energy for November.

SUMMARY:Uncommon Local - Mornington Day Experience
DESCRIPTION:“Monthly Friday lunches that help good people build genuine local friendships.”  \n  \nMaking friends as an adult is hard. Finding people who live near you and whom you genuinely enjoy spending time with is even harder. \n  \nIt’s strange when you think about it. As kids\, friendships happened naturally. At school\, on the sporting field or simply by asking\, “Do you want to play?” As adults\, somehow it turns into calendars\, cancelled plans\, group chats that slowly die and months of saying\, “We should catch up soon.” \n  \nMost of us chose where we live for a reason. More space. Better schools. A quieter lifestyle. To be closer to family. Maybe a tree change or a sea change. We love where we live\, whether that’s the West\, the Yarra Ranges\, Mornington Peninsula\, Daylesford or Macedon. \nThe irony is we often know people all over Melbourne\, but hardly anyone around the corner. \nSomewhere between careers\, raising families\, renovating houses\, walking the dog and trying to stay on top of life\, local friendships quietly disappeared. We don’t think it happened overnight. It just happened. \n  \nThat’s why we created The Uncommon Local Experience. \n  \nIt’s a simple idea. Once a month we choose a great local venue and invite good people to share lunch together. No private rooms. No name tags. No awkward networking games. No forced introductions or carefully planned seating charts. Just a relaxed lunch where conversations happen the way they always have—naturally. \n  \nYou order a main meal from the menu\, grab a drink if you’d like one\, sit wherever you feel comfortable and enjoy a couple of hours with interesting people who happen to live nearby. Bring a friend if you like\, or come on your own. You’ll quickly realise everyone is there for the same reason. \n  \nWhat surprises people is how quickly it feels normal. Someone recommends a local café you’ve never heard of. Someone tells you about a walking track nearby. You discover you both have kids at the same school\, support the same football club or live five minutes from each other. Before long\, these aren’t just people you met over lunch. They’re the people you’ll bump into at the market\, wave to at the dog park\, see at your local café or message when you feel like getting out for breakfast. \n  \nThat’s why people keep coming back. \n  \nOne lunch is enjoyable. Coming regularly is where the magic happens. Familiar faces become friends. New people are welcomed in. The group grows\, but it never loses the relaxed feeling that made people fall in love with it in the first place. It doesn’t feel like networking because it isn’t. It’s simply life happening around a table. \n  \nEvery month we also choose somewhere different\, giving members an excuse to discover another corner of Melbourne. Many people leave with a new favourite restaurant\, a weekend destination or somewhere they return to later with family and friends. \n  \nBy the time Friday arrives\, you’ve usually spent the week looking after work\, clients\, colleagues or family. The weekend will be busy too. We think taking a couple of hours once a month to invest in yourself is one of the healthiest things you can do. \n  \nThe Uncommon Local Experience isn’t about collecting business cards or building a network. \nIt’s about building a life. \n  \nA life where you know the people around you. Where you have someone to call for a coffee\, a walk\, lunch or a last-minute catch-up. The kind of life most of us thought we’d naturally have by now. \n  \nIt turns out all it really takes is putting good people around one table. That’s why we call it The Uncommon Local Experience. \n  \nBecause in today’s world\, genuine local connection has become surprisingly uncommon. \n  \nGot Questions?

SUMMARY:The Shot I Never Would Have Taken by Brendan Rossmen
DESCRIPTION:Every photo has a story only the photographer knows. Through his own photography\, Brendan shares how moments that felt like dead ends led him to opportunity\, and why the shots that matter most are the ones you nearly didn’t take. \nWHY ATTEND \nBecause most of us are sitting on opportunities we can’t see yet. This isn’t a lecture from an expert. It’s a real story about how the hardest moments in my life turned out to be the ones that moved me forward. \n\nWHAT WE WILL SHOW YOU \nMy journey from a career in sales\, through the moments that pulled the rug out from under me\, to building Pitch Digital. \n\nWHAT ARE THE BENEFITS \nYou’ll hopefully see your own setbacks differently. You’ll understand why staying comfortable is the real risk\, why letting people help you matters as much as helping them\, and how your story builds trust in business. \n\nWHAT WILL YOU WALK AWAY WITH \nA clear reason to share your own story\, because it’s one of the most valuable things your business has. \n\nHOW WILL YOU FEEL AFTER (the 1% er) \nOpen. More willing to say yes to the thing that scares you\, and more willing to let someone in. That small shift is the 1% that changes everything. \nAbout the presenter:Brendan Rossmen is the co-founder of Pitch Digital\, where he helps real estate agencies and small-to-medium businesses turn their social media into a genuine source of leads through strategic content and listing media. \nHis career has taken him from retail sales to general management\, business ownership and high-performing sales roles across automotive and B2B. Along the way\, he learned the value of building strong systems\, understanding people and turning setbacks into opportunities. \nToday\, Brendan brings that experience into Pitch Digital\, alongside his business partner Craig\, helping businesses stand out through social media management\, photography\, video\, drone footage and other content that drives results. \nBeyond business\, Brendan is passionate about the power of relationships\, referrals and sharing the stories that shape us. His Masterclass\, The Shot I Never Would Have Taken\, explores how life’s unexpected challenges can open doors we never saw coming\, why stepping outside our comfort zones matters\, and how being willing to accept help can change our direction.

SUMMARY:OMSB Evening Experience
DESCRIPTION:OMSB was created to change the way men connect. \n  \nThere are no business pitches\, no formal agenda\, and no pressure to be anything other than yourself. It’s a space where honest conversations\, shared experiences\, and genuine friendships come first. \n  \nBecause the strongest connections aren’t built through networking—they’re built through trust\, authenticity\, and simply showing up for one another. \n  \nNot Networking\, Connection \n  \nWe eliminated everything people dislike about conventional networking to make an intimate\, highly curated\, invitation-only experience and community. Complete with a connection framework designed to accelerate the building of relationships and mutual understanding without being “sold to.” This is Un-Networking. \n  \nIt’s Common Sense\, yet almost every other networking event doesn’t understand the audience attending—who they are as a person or what’s most important to them. People want to work with those they like\, and to like someone\, you must know them. The stronger the relationship\, the more connected you are. The more connected you become\, the longer business relationships will last. We understand you are more than what you do and celebrate and showcase this. We don’t guarantee leads; we enhance relationships. \n  \nWe remove the uncertainty around who you should be introduced to and why.\n\nWe eliminate superficial small talk like “So\, what do you do?” to go beyond the mundane talk about sports or house prices. We focus on ensuring everyone quickly builds deep connections and high levels of trust. \n  \nYou will not be met with hundreds of business cards thrown at you or a room full of people selling while no one is listening. We call this Business Relations (BR). We are told we are different. We like to think everyone should receive this level of respect. \n  \nOur promise is that at each Uncommon Experiences event you attend\, you will leave more inspired\, energised\, connected\, and motivated than when you walked in. \n  \nWhen was the last event you attended that offered this kind of promise? \n  \nPurpose of Each Event \nA fun and relaxed night out with your peers. We’ll help facilitate new and meaningful relationships.\n▪ Meet someone new\n▪ Reconnect with someone you know\n▪ Learn something new\n▪ Be reminded of something you know to be valuable but have forgotten \n  \nWho Attends These Events? \nThese dinners are for business owners\, thinkers\, and strategists who want to meet other abundance thinkers. \n  \nCan Anyone Attend This Dinner?\nNot exactly. This dinner is for men and is by invitation only. We’re happy to review anyone you think would be a good fit\, but it is a private dinner\, and they can attend a future event. \n  \nIf You’d Like to Invite a Guest to Join:\nPlease check that he meets the following key criteria before extending an invitation: \n\nIs somebody you’d willingly invite to dinner at your own home\nSomeone who actively helps others\nHas an abundance mindset\nA friend you feel you can rely on in any situation\n\n  \nGot Questions?

SUMMARY:D.A.T.A Day Experience
DESCRIPTION:Technology is evolving faster than ever\, but meaningful conversations are becoming harder to find. \nD.A.TA. Crowd was created for technology leaders who value genuine relationships over traditional networking. If you’ve ever left an industry event with a pocket full of business cards but no real connections\, you’ll understand why this community exists. \nWe’ve removed everything people dislike about conventional networking and created an intimate\, highly curated\, invitation-only experience where conversations matter. There are no presentations\, no pitches\, and no pressure to “work the room.” Instead\, we bring together the right people and provide a framework that naturally builds trust\, encourages collaboration\, and creates lasting professional relationships. \nTechnology leaders face unique challenges. Whether you’re navigating cybersecurity risks\, AI adoption\, digital transformation\, cloud strategy\, data governance\, infrastructure\, vendor relationships\, or building high-performing teams\, some of the best insights come from honest conversations with peers who have faced similar challenges. \nD.A.TA. Crowd is where CIOs\, CTOs\, IT Directors\, Heads of Technology\, Digital Leaders\, Data Leaders\, and senior technology professionals can openly share experiences\, exchange ideas\, and learn what is actually working in the real world. \nWe don’t promise leads or sales opportunities. We create an environment where genuine relationships develop naturally\, because the best business outcomes are built on trust\, not transactions. \nYou’ll leave each lunch with fresh perspectives\, practical ideas\, valuable connections\, and the confidence that comes from learning alongside some of Victoria’s most respected technology leaders. \n \nWho Attends?\nD.A.TA. Crowd brings together senior technology decision-makers who want to: \n\nConnect with peers facing similar technology and leadership challenges.\nDiscuss emerging technologies\, AI\, cybersecurity\, cloud\, data\, infrastructure\, and digital transformation.\nShare real experiences about vendors\, platforms\, software\, and implementation successes (and failures).\nExchange ideas on leadership\, team development\, innovation\, governance\, and strategy.\nBuild trusted relationships with technology leaders across industries.\n\n \nInvitation Only\nD.A.TA. Crowd is a private\, invitation-only community. \nIf you’d like to invite someone\, they should be someone you would happily invite to dinner at your own home. We look for people who are generous with their knowledge\, lead with integrity\, have an abundance mindset\, and contribute positively to every conversation. \n \nOur Promise\nAfter every D.A.TA crowd lunch\, you’ll leave feeling inspired\, connected\, challenged\, and equipped with new ideas—and surrounded by people you’ll genuinely want to stay in touch with. \n \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:OMSB Evening Experience
DESCRIPTION:OMSB was created to change the way men connect. \n  \nThere are no business pitches\, no formal agenda\, and no pressure to be anything other than yourself. It’s a space where honest conversations\, shared experiences\, and genuine friendships come first. \n  \nBecause the strongest connections aren’t built through networking—they’re built through trust\, authenticity\, and simply showing up for one another. \n  \nNot Networking\, Connection \n  \nWe eliminated everything people dislike about conventional networking to make an intimate\, highly curated\, invitation-only experience and community. Complete with a connection framework designed to accelerate the building of relationships and mutual understanding without being “sold to.” This is Un-Networking. \n  \nIt’s Common Sense\, yet almost every other networking event doesn’t understand the audience attending—who they are as a person or what’s most important to them. People want to work with those they like\, and to like someone\, you must know them. The stronger the relationship\, the more connected you are. The more connected you become\, the longer business relationships will last. We understand you are more than what you do and celebrate and showcase this. We don’t guarantee leads; we enhance relationships. \n  \nWe remove the uncertainty around who you should be introduced to and why.\n\nWe eliminate superficial small talk like “So\, what do you do?” to go beyond the mundane talk about sports or house prices. We focus on ensuring everyone quickly builds deep connections and high levels of trust. \n  \nYou will not be met with hundreds of business cards thrown at you or a room full of people selling while no one is listening. We call this Business Relations (BR). We are told we are different. We like to think everyone should receive this level of respect. \n  \nOur promise is that at each Uncommon Experiences event you attend\, you will leave more inspired\, energised\, connected\, and motivated than when you walked in. \n  \nWhen was the last event you attended that offered this kind of promise? \n  \nPurpose of Each Event \nA fun and relaxed night out with your peers. We’ll help facilitate new and meaningful relationships.\n▪ Meet someone new\n▪ Reconnect with someone you know\n▪ Learn something new\n▪ Be reminded of something you know to be valuable but have forgotten \n  \nWho Attends These Events? \nThese dinners are for business owners\, thinkers\, and strategists who want to meet other abundance thinkers. \n  \nCan Anyone Attend This Dinner?\nNot exactly. This dinner is for men and is by invitation only. We’re happy to review anyone you think would be a good fit\, but it is a private dinner\, and they can attend a future event. \n  \nIf You’d Like to Invite a Guest to Join:\nPlease check that he meets the following key criteria before extending an invitation: \n\nIs somebody you’d willingly invite to dinner at your own home\nSomeone who actively helps others\nHas an abundance mindset\nA friend you feel you can rely on in any situation\n\n  \nGot Questions?

SUMMARY:Uncommon Local - West Day Experience
DESCRIPTION:“Monthly Friday lunches that help good people build genuine local friendships.”  \n  \nMaking friends as an adult is hard. Finding people who live near you and whom you genuinely enjoy spending time with is even harder. \n  \nIt’s strange when you think about it. As kids\, friendships happened naturally. At school\, on the sporting field or simply by asking\, “Do you want to play?” As adults\, somehow it turns into calendars\, cancelled plans\, group chats that slowly die and months of saying\, “We should catch up soon.” \n  \nMost of us chose where we live for a reason. More space. Better schools. A quieter lifestyle. To be closer to family. Maybe a tree change or a sea change. We love where we live\, whether that’s the West\, the Yarra Ranges\, Mornington Peninsula\, Daylesford or Macedon. \nThe irony is we often know people all over Melbourne\, but hardly anyone around the corner. \nSomewhere between careers\, raising families\, renovating houses\, walking the dog and trying to stay on top of life\, local friendships quietly disappeared. We don’t think it happened overnight. It just happened. \n  \nThat’s why we created The Uncommon Local Experience. \n  \nIt’s a simple idea. Once a month we choose a great local venue and invite good people to share lunch together. No private rooms. No name tags. No awkward networking games. No forced introductions or carefully planned seating charts. Just a relaxed lunch where conversations happen the way they always have—naturally. \n  \nYou order a main meal from the menu\, grab a drink if you’d like one\, sit wherever you feel comfortable and enjoy a couple of hours with interesting people who happen to live nearby. Bring a friend if you like\, or come on your own. You’ll quickly realise everyone is there for the same reason. \n  \nWhat surprises people is how quickly it feels normal. Someone recommends a local café you’ve never heard of. Someone tells you about a walking track nearby. You discover you both have kids at the same school\, support the same football club or live five minutes from each other. Before long\, these aren’t just people you met over lunch. They’re the people you’ll bump into at the market\, wave to at the dog park\, see at your local café or message when you feel like getting out for breakfast. \n  \nThat’s why people keep coming back. \n  \nOne lunch is enjoyable. Coming regularly is where the magic happens. Familiar faces become friends. New people are welcomed in. The group grows\, but it never loses the relaxed feeling that made people fall in love with it in the first place. It doesn’t feel like networking because it isn’t. It’s simply life happening around a table. \n  \nEvery month we also choose somewhere different\, giving members an excuse to discover another corner of Melbourne. Many people leave with a new favourite restaurant\, a weekend destination or somewhere they return to later with family and friends. \n  \nBy the time Friday arrives\, you’ve usually spent the week looking after work\, clients\, colleagues or family. The weekend will be busy too. We think taking a couple of hours once a month to invest in yourself is one of the healthiest things you can do. \n  \nThe Uncommon Local Experience isn’t about collecting business cards or building a network. \nIt’s about building a life. \n  \nA life where you know the people around you. Where you have someone to call for a coffee\, a walk\, lunch or a last-minute catch-up. The kind of life most of us thought we’d naturally have by now. \n  \nIt turns out all it really takes is putting good people around one table. That’s why we call it The Uncommon Local Experience. \n  \nBecause in today’s world\, genuine local connection has become surprisingly uncommon. \n  \nGot Questions?

SUMMARY:Uncommon Masterclass with Ken Thomas
DESCRIPTION:We’re excited to welcome Ken Thomas as our next Uncommon Masterclass speaker on 17 November 2026. \nKen works with founders to solve a challenge that many growing businesses face: how do you scale what you know works when the knowledge still lives in your head? \nThrough Founder Revenue Architecture\, Ken helps businesses capture and structure the way they attract\, convert\, retain and expand customers — turning the founder’s knowledge into a practical revenue playbook that the team can use and AI can work from. \nHis approach is designed to help founders build revenue independence\, so growth doesn’t depend on the founder being involved in every deal. \nKen and his team have helped businesses achieve significant growth\, including taking an accounting firm from $1M to $2.7M\, building a $1M+ self-sourced pipeline in six months\, and helping businesses return to consistent growth after periods of decline. \nWith experience across 10+ industries\, Ken brings a practical perspective on sales\, revenue generation and building systems that allow businesses to scale beyond the founder. \nMore details coming soon …

SUMMARY:Artificial Intelligence - AI Evening Experience

SUMMARY:Uncommon Local - Mornington Day Experience
DESCRIPTION:“Monthly Friday lunches that help good people build genuine local friendships.”  \n  \nMaking friends as an adult is hard. Finding people who live near you and whom you genuinely enjoy spending time with is even harder. \n  \nIt’s strange when you think about it. As kids\, friendships happened naturally. At school\, on the sporting field or simply by asking\, “Do you want to play?” As adults\, somehow it turns into calendars\, cancelled plans\, group chats that slowly die and months of saying\, “We should catch up soon.” \n  \nMost of us chose where we live for a reason. More space. Better schools. A quieter lifestyle. To be closer to family. Maybe a tree change or a sea change. We love where we live\, whether that’s the West\, the Yarra Ranges\, Mornington Peninsula\, Daylesford or Macedon. \nThe irony is we often know people all over Melbourne\, but hardly anyone around the corner. \nSomewhere between careers\, raising families\, renovating houses\, walking the dog and trying to stay on top of life\, local friendships quietly disappeared. We don’t think it happened overnight. It just happened. \n  \nThat’s why we created The Uncommon Local Experience. \n  \nIt’s a simple idea. Once a month we choose a great local venue and invite good people to share lunch together. No private rooms. No name tags. No awkward networking games. No forced introductions or carefully planned seating charts. Just a relaxed lunch where conversations happen the way they always have—naturally. \n  \nYou order a main meal from the menu\, grab a drink if you’d like one\, sit wherever you feel comfortable and enjoy a couple of hours with interesting people who happen to live nearby. Bring a friend if you like\, or come on your own. You’ll quickly realise everyone is there for the same reason. \n  \nWhat surprises people is how quickly it feels normal. Someone recommends a local café you’ve never heard of. Someone tells you about a walking track nearby. You discover you both have kids at the same school\, support the same football club or live five minutes from each other. Before long\, these aren’t just people you met over lunch. They’re the people you’ll bump into at the market\, wave to at the dog park\, see at your local café or message when you feel like getting out for breakfast. \n  \nThat’s why people keep coming back. \n  \nOne lunch is enjoyable. Coming regularly is where the magic happens. Familiar faces become friends. New people are welcomed in. The group grows\, but it never loses the relaxed feeling that made people fall in love with it in the first place. It doesn’t feel like networking because it isn’t. It’s simply life happening around a table. \n  \nEvery month we also choose somewhere different\, giving members an excuse to discover another corner of Melbourne. Many people leave with a new favourite restaurant\, a weekend destination or somewhere they return to later with family and friends. \n  \nBy the time Friday arrives\, you’ve usually spent the week looking after work\, clients\, colleagues or family. The weekend will be busy too. We think taking a couple of hours once a month to invest in yourself is one of the healthiest things you can do. \n  \nThe Uncommon Local Experience isn’t about collecting business cards or building a network. \nIt’s about building a life. \n  \nA life where you know the people around you. Where you have someone to call for a coffee\, a walk\, lunch or a last-minute catch-up. The kind of life most of us thought we’d naturally have by now. \n  \nIt turns out all it really takes is putting good people around one table. That’s why we call it The Uncommon Local Experience. \n  \nBecause in today’s world\, genuine local connection has become surprisingly uncommon. \n  \nGot Questions?
