Comms Club Melbourne
Comms Club Melbourne: A unique and must-attend event for IC, HR and IT professionals around the world!
11/13/25, 6:00:00 AM - 11/13/25, 9:00:00 AM - CET
Q- Events: 414 Little Collins Street, Melbourne
We're exited to bring you our end of year edition of Comms club Melbourne this November! ✨
This time, we’re going full AI mode. Yes, the buzzword you hear everywhere. But instead of the hype, we’ll talk about how it actually matters for you: Internal Comms, IT, and HR leaders.
💡 The AI-Native Employee Experience!
Expect an evening of sharp insights, the latest trends, and honest conversations (no robots writing this one, promise). And to top it all off? Networking, good drinks, and live music, because if we’re talking about the future of work, we might as well end the year on a high note.
And since it’s the holiday season, we’ll also take a moment to celebrate Christmas and celebrate you for making this event so special.
⚠️ Please note: This edition is only for in-house professionals, partners and consultants aren’t eligible. If you’re interested in partnering with us, just reach out, we’d be happy to chat!
