This supportive program invites men to come together in a safe and respectful space to share experiences, explore challenges, and reflect on what matters most in their lives. Participants are welcome to bring a topic of their own or simply speak about what’s happening for them in the moment. Guided discussion topics may include navigating masculinity, communication styles, understanding personal needs and the needs of others, building resilience, connecting with emotions, and clarifying values—along with other issues that commonly impact men in relationships and daily life. When a topic is raised, participants are encouraged to explore how it relates to their own experiences, offering insights and reflections in a way that supports learning and growth. The facilitator participates alongside the group, modeling respectful sharing, open discussion, and thoughtful reflection, ensuring that everyone feels heard and empowered to engage at their own pace.

What the #%\*@ is impact? In a world where corporations are judged on their social impact nations unite over goals for environmental sustainability and happiness is considered as a rival metric for a country’s GDP– organisations need to measure the impact their organisation has on the real-world, not just their own bottom line. But what even IS impact? Is it important for companies that don’t have social or environmental goals? How do you measure it? This workshop will first introduce the concept of Impact, followed by a dive into how it’s defined and measured around the world in a dozen different domains and ultimately how we might apply it to produce products that pack a punch. **Our facilitator** [JJ Monester](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jjmonester/) works as an Associate Product Manager for the non-profit news media company, The Conversation International, a company which democratises knowledge by bridging the gap between academic research and the general public. Having worked on products where providing evidence of Impact to customers is fundamental, he has gone deep into the complex and nuanced world of understanding what frameworks attempt to achieve. Grokking organisational impact is an area of learning JJ could get lost in, and possibly already has :-). As an area that he is spending time on in his day to day, yet still feeling like he’s a beginner, he’s very much looking forward to sharing what’s he learning and getting deeper into the concepts alongside you all. Let’s have fun together.

## IL DESERTO ROSSO (1964) (Dir: Michelangelo Antonioni) **Book your ticket:** https://www.lidocinemas.com.au/movies/red-desert-1964 **6:40 pm** Meet in the cinema foyer **7:00** **pm** Film begins A near-apocalyptic audiovisual tour de force, Antonioni’s first film in colour confirms his status as cinema’s poet laureate on the soul-sickness of modern man. Vitti plays Giuliana, a disaffected wife who stumbles through a bleak industrial landscape beset by power plants and environmental toxins, suffering from a mysterious and debilitating anxiety. When her husband’s friend Corrado (Richard Harris) shows sensitivity to her condition, and a tentative flirtation ensues, Giuliana’s mental deterioration continues. Antonioni's panoramic and spellbinding critique of technological malaise is a prescient ecological nightmare that continues a run of decade-defining artistic achievements. Venice Film Festival 1964 – Winner, Golden Lion, FIPRESCI Prize, New Cinema Award Italian National Syndicate of Film Journalists 1964 – Winner, Silver Ribbon Best Cinematography

The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA
