About this Event
Join us as DrinkedIn returns for an afternoon of great food, great people and even better conversations.
Join us for Brisbane's next DrinkedIn as we head to the iconic Customs House for an afternoon of great food, great people and even better conversations.
Designed for business owners, leaders and professionals who value genuine relationships, DrinkedIn combines quality networking with a relaxed, social atmosphere. Forget awkward networking events — this is about meeting like-minded people over a fantastic lunch, sharing ideas, making new connections and having some fun along the way.
This time around, we're raising the bar. Your ticket includes a premium two-course lunch with drinks, the legendary DrinkedIn Quiz, interactive networking activities, and a lineup of speakers with some seriously good stories to tell — all set against the heritage grandeur of one of Brisbane's most iconic riverside buildings.
Meet Our Speakers: ROCHELE
Jeremy Festa, Samuel Festa & Ali Kouparitsas — Directors, ROCHELE
From a family home office in 1975 to South East Queensland's leading painting company — Jeremy, Sam and Ali know a thing or two about building something that lasts. As the second-generation directors behind Rochele, the siblings took what their parents Rocco and Michele started and turned it into a business built on trust, craft, and colour done right. At DrinkedIn, they'll pull back the curtain on the real Rochele journey — the growing pains, the wins, and why colour is never just colour, but one of the most powerful tools in shaping how a space makes people feel.
