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?

He will also provide insights into the decisions being weighed at the highest level of governments around the world\, the progress of the Colossus Project and the company’s vision for becoming a major supplier of critical rare earth materials to Western markets. \nCraig Scheef: “In over 20 years investing Raf stood out as one of the most impressive MD’s I have come across. His subject knowledge and depth of forward planning stood out and is the main reason it is currently the largest holding in our portfolio” \nGot Questions?\nPlease contact \nMatt Murray – commonsense@uncommonexperiences.com.au / 0419 432 062\nYani – community@uncommonexperiences.com.au / 03 8323 0340

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?

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: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:Artificial Intelligence - AI Evening Experience
DESCRIPTION:Artificial Intelligence is transforming every industry\, but the most valuable insights don’t come from algorithms. They come from conversations. \nThe AI Dinner was created for people who are curious about the future of artificial intelligence and want to have meaningful discussions with others exploring its possibilities. Whether you’re building AI solutions\, leading AI adoption within your organisation\, researching emerging technologies\, investing in innovation\, or simply fascinated by what’s next\, this is a space to connect with people who share your curiosity. \nWe’ve removed everything people dislike about traditional networking and created an intimate\, highly curated\, invitation-only dinner where genuine conversations take centre stage. \nAI is moving at an extraordinary pace. Every week brings new tools\, breakthroughs\, opportunities\, and ethical questions. The best way to stay ahead isn’t just by reading the latest headlines. It’s by hearing how others are applying AI\, what they’re learning\, what’s working\, and where they see the future heading. \nWe don’t guarantee business opportunities. We create an environment where trust is built\, ideas are exchanged openly\, and meaningful relationships develop naturally. \n  \nWho Attends?\nThe AI Dinner brings together professionals\, founders\, researchers\, executives\, technologists\, investors\, educators\, creatives\, and curious minds who want to: \n\nExplore how AI is changing business\, society\, and everyday life.\nShare practical experiences\, lessons\, and emerging trends.\nDiscuss opportunities\, risks\, ethics\, governance\, and innovation.\nLearn from people applying AI across different industries.\nBuild authentic relationships with others shaping the future of artificial intelligence.\n\n  \nInvitation Only\nThe AI Dinner is a private\, invitation-only experience. \nIf you’d like to invite someone\, they should be someone you’d happily invite to dinner at your own home. We look for people who are generous with their knowledge\, open to different perspectives\, have an abundance mindset\, and contribute positively to every conversation. \n  \nOur Promise\nAfter every AI Dinner\, you’ll leave feeling inspired\, challenged\, connected\, and equipped with fresh ideas\, valuable perspectives\, and relationships that extend well beyond the dinner table. \n  \nGot Questions?

SUMMARY:Members Only Evening Experience
DESCRIPTION:The Members-Only Dinner gives all our Uncommon Experiences members the chance to discuss their biggest challenges and opportunities. It’s a space to build on trust\, deepen friendships\, and find new ways to support each other.  \n  \nAlways the quarterly highlight for our members.  \n  \nTo enhance this\, we are introducing a facilitated “Abundance Circle”\, where members can both give and contribute using their human and social capital: \n\nHuman Capital – Your knowledge\, skills\, strengths\, and experience gained through education and training.\nSocial Capital – The relationships you’ve built that can serve as valuable resources for others.\n\n  \nThis powerful exercise creates a network effect\, connecting us all in a way that strengthens our influence in the markets we operate in. \n  \nBenefits of Participation: \n\nSolve an existing problem or challenge\nGain new knowledge and insights\nAchieve your goals faster\nBuild high-quality connections and referrals\nStrengthen trust and relationships\nImprove personal and professional well-being\nEnhance your reputation\n\n  \nWhy Uncommon Experiences? \nWe created Uncommon Experiences because we dislike networking but love connecting—having real conversations with interesting people who are genuinely interested in us. If we couldn’t find this kind of space\, we knew others were struggling too. \n  \nSo\, we removed everything people dislike about traditional networking and built intimate\, highly curated\, invitation-only experiences. With a structured connection framework\, we accelerate relationship-building without the pressure of being “sold to.” \n  \nThis is Un-Networking. \n  \nAt most events\, people don’t truly connect because the experience isn’t designed for them. We know that people want to work with those they like\, and to like someone\, you must know them.  \n  \nThe stronger the relationship\, the more meaningful and lasting the connection. \nWe don’t guarantee leads—we enhance relationships. \n  \nOur Promise \nAt every Uncommon Experiences event\, you will leave feeling more inspired\, energized\, connected\, and motivated than when you walked in. \n  \nWhen was the last time an event truly delivered on that promise? \n  \nCan Anyone Attend This Dinner? \nNO – This dinner is exclusively for Uncommon Experiences members only. \n  \nQuestions?
