Hello friends! 👋

We have a very exciting announcement for your Friday!

SportsGrad Meetups are BACK!!

This is where SportsGrad and SportsGrad Pro folks come together for a night of networking (but not in a suit & tie kind of way).

We know how much everyone loves a meetup, so we’ve gotten our shit together and planned the Australian Meetup Fixture for the rest of 2023 and 2024!!!

Here’s a quick snapshot:

• 20 events to grow your network around Australia

• 4x a year in the east coast cities

• Melbourne to host the Friday night classics in front of sellout 150+ person crowds

• Sydney claim the Thursday night blockbusters (the new Friday drinks they say)

• Brisbane play host to the origin style mid-weekers to inspire your hump day

• And Adelaide & Perth will host a couple of double-header epics

It’s my first time, what is this?

If you’ve never been to a SportsGrad Meetup before (it’s about time quite frankly), these are simply fun, casual networking events that won’t set your social anxiety on fire, but will grow your networks in sport.

Here you can expect to learn heaps, meet people in awesome jobs in sport, and not be judged for wearing the same kit you’d wear to the pub - Leave the formal wear at home pls.

Why you’re going to love them:

• You can meet people who will hire you (has happened multiple times)

• You can learn what others do to help your career direction

• You can learn how others operate and discover best practice

• You can add 20+ people to your network who may help you down the track

A meetup ticket will get you:

• Networking

• Food & drink

• Speakers - we’ll interview a couple of legends and find out what’s going in the sports industry.

Meetup venues:

Melbourne - The Commons, Cremorne

Sydney - The Commons, George St

Brisbane - WeWork, CBD

Perth - Village Bar & Wembley Hotel

Adelaide - The Stag, Rundle St

These events are for two kinds of people:

1. People who work in sport

2. People interested in working in sport (students, grads, people thinking of a career change)

Past attendees include people from:

AFL, NRL, FIFA Women’s World Cup, Cricket Australia, Netball Australia, Football Australia, AFL & NRL clubs, A-League clubs, TLA, Gemba, KOJO and many many more

If you want to know what it’s like:

• View some photos

• Watch a recap video

• Or read how Dan got a job in sports marketing from a Sydney Meetup

It’s always better when you bring a friend, Meetups are the perfect chance to catch up with uni friends or colleagues. Let them know you’re keen and round up the gang! (or even better, get work to pay for it!)

Tickets will go on sale closer to the date, so stay tuned, and jump on it quick because spots are limited!!

We can’t wait to see you there!

Much love,

Reuben & Ryan 💛
