About this Event

Bound & Co
Books get you through the door. The people you meet are why you come back.
Bound & Co creates curated literary experiences designed to make connecting over books feel easy — from intimate author events and bookstore crawls to creative pop-ups and multi-day reading retreats.
Our events are intentionally welcoming to solo guests, with thoughtful introductions and shared experiences that take away some of the awkwardness of walking into a room where you don’t know anyone.
Come for the books, meet your next favourite author, discover a new read or find yourself sitting across the table from someone who becomes a new friend.
Acknowledgment of Country
Bound & Co acknowledges the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which this event is held. We pay our respects to Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples joining us.
Agenda
🕑: 06:00 PM - 06:30 PM
Arrive, Drink and Connect
Info: When you arrive, we’ll show you to your table where your welcome gift and a nametag will be waiting for you.
Grab your drink from the bar before heading out to the balcony, where the Bound & Co team will make a few introductions and help you meet some of the other guests joining us for the evening. As with all Bound & Co events, we’ll make it easy to settle in, meet people and find your table.
🕑: 06:30 PM - 07:30 PM
In Conversation
Info: Once everyone is seated, shared grazing boards will be served to the tables as Danielle Asciak joins Antoinette for an in-conversation.
🕑: 07:30 PM - 08:30 PM
At the Table with Antoinette
Info: Instead of finishing the talk with a traditional audience Q&A, we’re doing things a little differently.
Following the conversation, Antoinette will make her way around the room, taking a seat at every table for dedicated time to chat, answer questions and personally sign your copy of Women Who Win.
While you’re waiting for your table’s turn, the bar will remain open and you’re welcome to circulate the room, continue conversations and connect with other guests. No need to keep an eye on where Antoinette is up to — we’ll come and find you when it’s your table’s turn, so you won’t miss out!
🕑: 08:30 PM - 09:00 PM
Prizes and Farewells
Info: We’ll come back together to wrap up the evening and announce our door prize winners, with gifts generously provided by Penguin Random House and our event sponsors.
While our time together at Olio may be coming to an end, yours doesn’t have to. With plenty of great bars and restaurants nearby, you can keep the conversation going with your new connections — whether that’s over a final drink, dessert or something else entirely!
