Join us for this free event to enjoy food, drinks, networking, and a conversation with two of Adelaide's most inspiring self-starters who'll tell us about their career journeys, reflect on what they learned in starting and running their own businesses, and share tried and trusted tips for building a professional network and leaving a legacy.

You'll hear an exclusive interview with the Founder of Spence Club, Lauren Zwaans, who will share why and how she started the Club 10 years ago and the challenges she faced as a not-for-profit entrepreneur. We'll also chat to her about her highly successful career, which has included roles at Facebook/Meta, jobs in the US and London, stints in politics and journalism, as well as time starting and running her own business.

Also on our panel is Sara Siami, Spence Club Board Member and Founder of ‘The People Plugin’, which specialises in recruiting, retaining and developing talent across a number of industries. Sara was a key player in South Australia’s most successful startup - Sweat, where she experienced a 240% headcount growth as the head of People & Culture in a short space of time!

This event will also include our Annual General Meeting - a short but important occasion for the Club where we'll provide an update on the Club's activities, achievements and finances for the past year. We'll also farewell and thank our outgoing Board Members and celebrate and welcome our new Board Members.

Don't miss this important and exciting event - one of our last for 2024!
