About this Event
Not a Boardroom Lunch (But Definitely a Power Lunch)
Let’s skip the stale sandwiches and awkward name tags.
Not a Boardroom Lunch is your once-a-month chance to step away from the emails and into a real conversation over a good meal, with great people, and zero fluff.
This isn’t a pitch-fest. It’s not a seminar. And it’s definitely not a “networking event” in the traditional sense.
It’s for business owners, professionals, and leaders who want to talk shop, swap stories, and share insights with people who get it minus the ego and the elevator pitch.
Each month, we’ll dive into a fresh topic that’s actually relevant to running and growing a business in today’s world. Expect honest chats, practical takeaways, and more than a few laughs.
💬 What to Expect:
- A handpicked group of business brains around the table
- One key topic or challenge to chew over
- A few thought-starters to spark conversation
- Lunch (of course) because great ideas don’t happen on an empty stomach
🗓 Wednesdays at 1pm, once a month
📍 The Duke of Brunswick Hotel, Adelaide
🎟 Seats are limited to keep it real. First in, best dressed.
If you’re craving real connections, straight talk, and the kind of discussion that sticks with you long after the last bite this is your table
About Your Host – Simone Douglas
Simone Douglas is a business owner, author, strategist, and straight-talker who’s spent the last 20 years turning real-world conversations into real-world outcomes. As the CEO of DMAOK & co-owner of multiple hospitality venues, she knows firsthand that business isn’t won in boardrooms, it’s built on relationships.

Simone doesn’t do small talk for the sake of it. She curates these lunches to be meaningful, energising, and refreshingly real, because the best ideas usually happen when the suits come off and the stories come out.
