Date My Mate - GC 2.0

After the roaring success of the first edition, by Victoria Bardovic (who ran the event as a “one night only”), we just had to keep the flame alive! It was too good not to! Many people said it was their favourite event in a long time! Thoroughly entertaining from start to finish.

So with Victoria’s blessing, please welcome your new Hostesses with the Mostesses - Riely & Penny!

If you missed out on the first smash hit event, here’s what it’s all about:

We all know, Dating apps are a doozy. So we’re doing it live - with slides.

Imagine shark tank but we’re pitching for dates! Friends pitch their single mates to a room of curious, fun, and vibey humans, IRL (in real life)!

Think: charm, humour, light roasting, and surprisingly good matchmaking.

No swiping.
No awkward, cold approaches.
Just PowerPoint, great banter, and humans who know how to communicate.

Gold Coast - NEW Venue TBA
Friday, 20th March, 2026

Entrepreneurs, founders, creatives - this one’s for you.

Whether you:
• Pitch a mate
• Get pitched
• Or just come to watch, laugh, and see who’s in the room

Come for the banter, stay for a date.

What to expect:

If you're seeking a date you'll be offered a red thread for your wrist to let people know you're available ;)
