About this Event
About the Evening
Ceylon Circle returns with its third gathering — an evening designed to deepen the conversations that matter most.
Following the energy and connections sparked at our first event, this night is about continuity: continuing relationships, continuing dialogue, and continuing the shared work of building meaningful businesses and careers.
Ceylon Circle brings together Sri Lankan-origin founders, operators, investors, and senior professionals across Australia who are shaping industries, stewarding capital, and leading teams with intention.
This is not transactional networking.
It is a space for thoughtful exchange, grounded perspectives, and genuine connection — the kind that lasts beyond a single evening.
Whether you are building, leading, investing, or exploring what comes next, this gathering offers a place to reconnect with familiar faces and meet new ones in a setting designed for depth, not noise.
Please note that your ticket includes a main course and a selection between Kotthu Rotti (Vegetarian or Chicken) Please specify if you have any dietary restrictions once you purchase your ticket. There will be other snacks and drinks on offer for an additional charge at the event!
Who This Evening Is For
- Founders, entrepreneurs & business owners
- Senior professionals and leaders across industries
- Investors, advisors & operators
- Sri Lankan-origin individuals with a long-term, growth mindset
