Member Social Meetup — Third Friday

Meet and catch-up with Pollinators members at our monthly Third Friday Social Meetup.

Each month we bring together inspiring topics and guests in compelling conversations that attract thinkers, doers, innovators and creators.

This month we have several guests and topics…

• Robert Smallwood from Mid West Development Commission with update on Digital Strategy and news from OzApp awards and West Tech Fest,
• Stan Maley from Friends of Geraldton Gardens with updates and ways to get involved in the Botanic Gardens,
• Bronwyn Neville from City of Greater Geraldton on the upcoming Bikeweek events and Gero Cycle Chic,
• David Prince from Songcoin with updates on alternative investment and currency options for music,
• Andrew Outhwaite from Pollinators Inc will introduce a new way for members to pitch and progress your own ideas with our support. Three examples will be shared:
  • Starting a coding club e.g. CoderDojo and/or CodeClub
  • “Eco Pods” to encourage cycling and recycling in Geraldton,
  • Creating postcards of Geraldton urban art that are sold to fund more vibrancy initiatives.

Each month, topics and guests are sourced through suggestions from members: suggest a speaker or topic or any sort of event.

On the Third Friday of each month these events generally feature:

• Facilitated introductions and connections,
• Quick pitches from special guests and members introducing new ideas or ventures,
• Small group conversations on focus topics,
• Harvesting from the groups about their learning and insights,
• Drinks and food to keep the energy bubbling.
