Tenured Member Event | An Evening with Shaun Bonett

29 April 2026 06:00 PM (GMT+10:00) Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney
Venue: Restaurant Hubert
Location: Sydney, Australia

An evening reserved for those who’ve been in the arena.

Join us for an exclusive Tenured Member experience with Shaun Bonett, Founder & CEO of Precision Group and Co-Founder of Prezzee. Having built and scaled across property and tech, Shaun brings sharp commercial instinct, disciplined execution, and a refreshingly grounded approach to leadership.

In an intimate setting at Hubert’s Theatre, Shaun will share honest insights on growth, decision-making, and what it really takes to build something that lasts. The conversation will be led by our Member Engagement Chair, fellow Tenured Member, and long-time friend of Shaun, Dr Michael Zacharia.

Alongside a shared feast, great wine, and even better company, this will be a night to step back, connect, and gain perspective with those who’ve walked a similar path.

We hope to see you there.


The Frictionless Future: Emotional Regulation as the New Standard

4 May 2026 05:30 PM (GMT+10:00) Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney
Venue: Fossix Gateway Lounge & Events
Location: Sydney, Australia

What if peak performance wasn’t about pushing harder but regulating smarter?

We’re entering a new era where emotional regulation isn’t “soft”. It is measurable, trainable, and a serious competitive advantage.

Join us for a powerful keynote with Nicole Gibson, former National Mental Health Commissioner turned emotion AI founder, as she unpacks what the future of wellness, leadership and performance really looks like.

The Frictionless Future: Emotional Regulation as the New Standard

What if the future of health felt less like crisis management and more like clean, intelligent design?

After overseeing Australia’s federal mental health budget, Nicole saw a confronting truth. Billions were spent, yet outcomes weren’t improving. The problem wasn’t funding. It was the absence of real-time, personalised data.

Now, with wearable technology capable of measuring emotional regulation and nervous system performance, everything is changing.

This is precision, data-backed, frictionless performance.

Why this matters:

1. Emotional regulation is your hidden performance lever. Your ability to regulate under pressure directly impacts your leadership, decision-making and resilience. Now, it is something you can actually measure and optimise.

2. The future of wellness is personal, measurable and frictionless. Forget guesswork. Real-time biometric data is reshaping how we approach health, performance and longevity.

3. The AI race will be won by companies that care. The next generation of leaders won’t just build powerful tech. They will protect data, prioritise human integrity and create systems that elevate, not exploit.

This session will challenge how you think about performance, wellbeing, and the role technology plays in both.

You will leave with a new standard for how you operate and lead.

Every attendee will receive a Garmin wearable, with some distributed ahead of time so Nicole can analyse and unpack real data live on the night.

Limited spots. Don’t miss this.
