Gallery & Coffee Friend Outing

Sun, Jul 19, 1:00 AM

From BeSocial. Melbourne

4.8

Join a small group for a relaxed gallery visit followed by coffee and conversation. This event is a great way to meet people without the pressure of constant talking. We’ll explore a gallery or exhibition together, take our time looking around, and then head to a nearby cafe afterwards to chat about what we saw. Art, design, and creative spaces naturally give people something to talk about, making this a great event if you want connection to feel more organic. You don’t need to know anything about art to join — curiosity is more than enough. Come solo, meet the group, and enjoy a thoughtful weekend activity with people who are also looking to make genuine friendships. The coffee afterwards is where conversations can continue and people can get to know each other more personally. **Perfect for:** creative people, gallery lovers, coffee lovers, quiet conversationalists, and anyone wanting a calm social experience. To help you get the most out of the event, we ask that you download our app before you arrive (or upon arrival). The app will be used throughout the event for prompts, activities, and other interactive content so having it ready will ensure you can fully participate. https://apps.apple.com/au/app/besocial/id6759604739 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appetiser.besocial&hl=en **Event photography and videography may take place at this event. Images and footage captured may be used in future BeSocial promotional materials.** **If you do not wish to appear in promotional materials, please notify Nexaro Group Pty Ltd before the event by emailing support@besocialapp.co, or let the event hosts know on the day.**

Reading the Tea Leaves: Developing Product Sense

Wed, Jul 22, 8:00 AM

From Product Anonymous Meetup - Melbourne

4.7

A lot of the time, product management can feel like the art of predicting the future. With incomplete data, lots of competing priorities, and stakeholders that always want to have a say, it can be challenging to make a call on what to do next. Building your product sense is a way to make sense of the madness. We'll explore what product sense is, how you actually apply it at work, and ways to develop yours. We'll run through some real examples of using product sense to make hard decisions, pass hiring tasks, and ultimately ship better products faster. **Our Speaker** Maxy Lotherington is the Head of Product & Design at InvestorHub, where she leads a team of product managers and designers. She's spent 10+ years designing impactful digital experiences, scaling product teams, and learning lots every day.
