Merri-bek Bold Business Gathering - November 2025

Business is People

We’re diving into the key ingredient of every bold business: people.

Whether you're working alongside family, nourishing a team, co-creating with customers, working with impacted communities, anchoring your business in your neighbourhood or perhaps still looking for your dream team - this gathering is for you.

Because most of us know that it isn't just what we build, but who we build it with!

The conversation will kick off thanks to generous business leaders sharing with us including Zack Skerritt, Owner and Head Brewer, Inner North Brewing Company.

Why attend?

• Learn how others are weaving community into their business models

• Hear real stories about collaboration, co-design, care and trust

• Reflect on who you’re building your business with and for

• Help grow a bold, values-led business community in Merri-bek

Merri-bek is where innovation, community and sustainability thrive together. We believe the future favours the bold, and we’re bringing together Merri-bek’s innovators, entrepreneurs, creators, change-makers and owners of future-focused businesses - the people who are pushing boundaries, blending industries and doing things differently. Bold Businesses create jobs, spark new industries, build community, and give people purpose. Merri-bek is fast becoming the home for businesses that don’t just adapt to the future, they shape it.
