Join us for SECNA's first quarterly meetup of the year!

The themes for our quarterly meetups this year will align with what our members have identified as what the sector needs more of (access to markets, capability building, funding and networks). The theme for the first meetup of the year will be Access to Markets.

Access to Markets includes how to find customers, sales channels, government and corporate procurement, social procurement and more.

This event is a great chance to connect with social enterprises, social entrepreneurs, and their supporters in a relaxed setting. This hybrid event welcomes everyone, members and non-members of SECNA. It's a great chance to bring colleagues or friends interested in social enterprise. An online (zoom) option will be offered those unable to attend the physical event.

Event Schedule:

6:00pm: Arrival, registration and networking
6:15pm: Welcome, acknowledgments & introduction
6:30pm: Panel Discussion + Q&A
7:00pm - 8:00pm: Light catering and networking

Guest speakers for Panel Discussion:

Andrew Cuccurulo E-commerce expert, current Volunteer Ozharvest Ventures

Chris Newman - Managing Director, ArcBlue

Michael Shaskey - Founder GrowUp

Lizette Lee - Operations Lead, Australia Take2

Joanne Kennett - Experienced Social Procurement Professional

The panel will be moderated by Kylie Flament, CEO, SECNA

We will provide a Zoom link before the event for those attending online. The online meeting will be available from 6pm and will finish after the panel discussion and Q&A (approx 7pm).

We thank Canva for their generous hospitality in providing its great event space.

Light snacks and non-alcoholic drinks will be available. They include a grazing board with cheeses, cold cuts, veg sticks, fresh bread, and dips. As part of Canva's licensing requirements, the venue is now alcohol-free.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Warm regards, The SECNA Team
