Stone & Chalk Ecosystem Mixer: A Focus on Cyber

Stone & Chalk's Ecosystem Mixer: A Focus on Cyber

Stone & Chalk's Ecosystem Mixer is Melbourne’s most sociable startup community event. Its purpose is to provide you with an opportunity to form and deepen meaningful connections into the Victorian Startup Ecosystem.

We’re bringing together founders, investors, mentors & industry professionals who share a passion for building a safer digital world. This is your chance to connect, exchange ideas & spark collaborations that strengthen our cyber resilience.

Cybersecurity is more than just protecting systems & data. It’s about safeguarding people, financial assets & the trust that underpins our digital lives. From defending against ransomware & phishing scams to managing enterprise risk, the industry plays a critical role in every modern organization.

Come along, share your insights & meet others driving innovation in the cyber security space.
