Hi everyone, let's meet for this afternoon 12 June 5.30pm for Friday afternoon social drinks and networking. see ya then Joe,

Every month, WIP Society gathers a small group of Melbourne business owners around a single question. Not a trivia question. Not a debate prompt. A question worth actually sitting with — the kind that reveals something about how you think, not just what you know. This month's question will be shared with you one week before we meet, so you arrive having genuinely lived with it rather than reached for the first answer that came to mind. The format is simple. Eight people. A comfortable venue. A couple of hours over drinks. No agenda beyond the question and wherever it honestly leads. No hierarchy — what your business does or how big it is stays at the door. No performance of certainty — not knowing something here is a contribution, not a liability. WIP Society takes its name from Work in Progress. Every member considers themselves one. That shared orientation — and the shared experience of running a business — is what makes the conversation different. **This event is free. You cover your own food and drinks.** This is WIP Society's founding Melbourne cohort. The people in this first room will shape what it becomes. Places are strictly limited to eight. Location shared with confirmed members closer to the date. Membership is by application — please apply before registering: 👉 https://forms.clickup.com/9016427028/f/8cpqggm-13616/1X3X9UGMIEIBA9089H
