Upcoming Events


The Robots are Late Again

7 October 2026 11:00 AM (GMT+10:00) Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney
Venue: Crown Sydney
Location: Sydney, Australia

The AI jobs apocalypse has missed its date too many times to count. The companies that cut staff on the forecast are now rehiring, and their competitors are absorbing the talent. This session gives you two tools to make sure you’re the one hiring and optimising, rather than the one apologising.

From AI Experimentation to Execution with Eva Lagrange

14 October 2026 10:00 AM (GMT+10:00) Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney
Venue: Dexus Place
Location: Sydney, Australia

Artificial intelligence has moved well beyond experimentation. The question is no longer whether founders should embrace AI, but how to turn it into meaningful business outcomes.

Join AI strategist Eva Lagrange for a highly interactive, founder-only workshop designed to move beyond the hype. Combining the latest Australian and global insights with facilitated peer discussion, this session will challenge the way you think about AI and help you identify practical opportunities within your own business.

Rather than sitting through another keynote, you'll work alongside fellow EO members in a series of structured roundtables, pressure-testing ideas, sharing real experiences, and building a practical roadmap you can take back to your team.

What you'll cover...

Across three facilitated roundtables, we'll explore:

Lead It: How founders can lead AI adoption through strategy, governance, decision-making and operating models.

Staff It: Building AI-ready teams, developing capability, and leading organisational change.

Market It: How AI is reshaping customer expectations, marketing, branding and the buyer journey.

Each session begins with Eva sharing current research, case studies and practical frameworks before opening the floor for collaborative discussion with your fellow founders.

How Each Roundtable Runs: (40 MIN)

Eva frames the theme for ~20 minutes with data and case studies, then opens a structured peer discussion. Small groups spend 20 minutes pressure-testing it against their own business, each surfacing their key insight, biggest barrier, and next step, which Eva draws together in the final synthesis.

What you'll Walk Away With:

  1. A clear view of where and how to create real value with AI - the specific levers across leadership, talent and customer experience

  2. Space to pressure-test their own AI thinking with other founders - sharper priorities and clearer direction on what to focus on next.

  3. The confidence to lead the conversation internally - with data, best practices and a practical framework to take straight back to their team.


Trust-Based Selling with Ari Galper

20 October 2026 03:00 PM (GMT+10:00) Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney
Venue: Dexus Place
Location: Sydney, Australia

Something has shifted in the way your potential clients are buying, and most founders in
low-volume/high-margin businesses, are still trying to figure out the shift.

The problem is often not your pricing, your product, or your pitch. It’s something that’s invisible, and once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

It’s called the Trust Recession, a collapse of belief between buyers and sellers built on years of over-marketing and pressure dressed up as sales persuasion.

You and your team may be doing everything right. You get on a call, explain your value, do some “free consulting”, and then your prospect disappears.

No decision. Just silence. The cycle repeats itself, your pipeline looks full, but your bank account tells a different story.

Turns out, getting more leads is often not the problem.
