The Executive Roundtable The Lakeview Hotel

Date: Thursday 29th
Time: 4:00pm - 6:00pm

Curious for something interesting?

Curious for something new in Ballarat?

We’re not networking.
We’re not just another event.
We’re not about handing out business cards and trying to “sell” to each other.

What we are is executive peer support.

Every month, the same groups of 12 leaders come together to connect, learn, and grow. Over the course of a year, these leaders tackle real business challenges, sharing strategies, insights, and actionable steps that they can implement immediately.

This isn’t about just listening to amazing keynotes (although we do that too). When we meet, we unpack the insights and words of wisdom from those keynotes and our own lived experiences, determining practical ways to improve and adapt our business strategies. This is deep, focused learning with peers who are in the trenches, just like you.

And once a quarter, we bring together all the Roundtables for a Super Roundtable, where we hear from exemplar keynote speakers on subjects that matter most to our businesses’ success. This is a unique opportunity to learn from global thought leaders and network with a wider community of business owners and executives.

No fluff. No empty pitches. Just real conversations, shared experiences, and practical advice from peers who have been there, done that.

Ready to be part of a community that’s all about support, growth, and transformation? The Executive Roundtable experience is being launched in Ballarat and your invited.
