👫 Better Together: Social Drinks for Growth-Minded Couples
Join us for a relaxed networking drinks with other couples who value meaningful conversation, intentional living, and want to work on a business or a project together (or already are). This isn’t your average couples’ Meetup.
💡 **Please note:** This event is specifically for couples attending together. RSVPs without a +1 (partner) will be cancelled to keep the balance of the group.
📅 **il Mercato Centrale Melbourne**
**📍 Limited to 10 couples** so grab your spot early
🍷**Happy Hour** drink specials from 5:00pm
**💬 Conversation Starters**
Each time we meet includes a few rotating topics to spark insight and great chats:
* A habit that made your life better as a couple
* A travel story with a twist (funny, unique, or unexpected)
* Something you’re learning right now
* A tip on how to work with your partner's personality and communication styles
No need to prep, just come ready to connect. We’ll mix up seating halfway through so you meet more than just the couple beside you.
**🧠 Who This Is For**
* Couples into growth, learning, and intentional living
* Those building something together, or who want to
* People who want deeper connection, not surface-level chat
This isn’t networking. It’s real people and real convos. Just bring yourselves, curiosity, and an open mind. We’ll take care of the rest.
**👥 Hosted by Matt & Justine Stuckings**
Matt & Justine are the kind of couple who live for deep chats over food, spontaneous adventures, and connecting with people who live life on purpose.
Matt’s a 6’4 ex-photographer turned marketer and entrepreneur. He’s into Pickleball, boutique breweries, and discovering weird restaurants and books that make life (and business) better. If it helps him grow or gets him thinking differently, he’s probably already into it.
Justine’s a connector at heart. She’s a uni teacher and entrepreneur who loves mentoring, dancing, dark hot chocolate, and surrounding herself with people who think big and care deeply.
Together, they host events that feel relaxed but intentional, welcoming but meaningful. They started this event to find more of their people. Curious, kind, growth-minded couples who want more than just small talk.

\- We are not a 'dating' group\. We are focused on helping ladies and gents meet other like minded ladies and gents\. You will generally find a good gender balance \(maybe not perfect\) at all our events\.

Pizza networking night
Join us for a pizza networking night at Pino Pinelli’s - known for their wood fired pizzas.
This will be an inclusive, low key night full of community, and an amazing opportunity to meet new friends.
At its core, Girls Who Boss is built on a simple and well-supported idea:
*When women have access to strong, intentional support networks, they are better positioned to thrive - professionally, creatively, and personally.*
Networks influence far more than career progression. They shape how women access information, perspective, opportunity, and confidence across many areas of life.
These connections often become places where we test ideas, refine values, learn from one another’s decisions, and make sense of complex seasons - whether you’re creating a business, chasing your career dreams, or working on personal development, this is the space for you.
We can’t wait to see you there.

**\*\*\*\* More details and sign up at: https://aifalliance.org/summit-2026/ \*\*\*\***
**What is AI Freedom Alliance?**
AI Freedom Alliance promotes the responsible growth of AI guided by practical, commonsense ethics. Our nonprofit is built by
professionals from a wide range of industries and is made up entirely of small- and mediumbusiness representatives—never large tech companies. We provide a counterbalance to big corporate influence, focusing instead on how AI can benefit businesses and the world at large.
**What’s Happening?**
***The inaugural AI Freedom Alliance Summit.***
This full-day event will explore how we can ensure AI is adopted responsibly through shared ethical standards that empower
humanity. The summit will feature interactive and educational sessions led by thought leaders, technologists, policymakers, and advocates who are passionate about making AI fair, transparent, and beneficial for everyone.
**Why Attend?**
Learn about the legal and technical challenges with implementing AI solutions within your organization. Build better solutions while protecting your organization from legal and compliance risks. And learn how to think strategically about AI as a differentiation tool for your business.
This summit is highly recommended for C-Suite leaders to learn as well as interact with each other and our sponsors.
