Some careers shape products. Others shape industries. Join Leading the Product for an exclusive evening with [Jon Alferness](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jon-alferness-b193a3/) — one of Silicon Valley's most accomplished product leaders, advisor and investor. Jon is a highly experienced technology and product leader with more than 20 years' experience in Silicon Valley and the global retail sector, including recent focus on the food and grocery sector. Across more than two decades, his career has been defined by senior executive roles delivering digital transformation and innovation at some of the world's most influential technology companies, including Google, Pinterest, Lyft and, most recently, as Executive Vice President and Chief Product Officer at Walmart US whilst a Strategic Advisor to MrBeast — a role encompassing eCommerce, Financial Services, Health & Wellness, Merchant Tools, and Last Mile Delivery. Prior to Walmart, Jon spent 13 years at Google, where as Vice President of Product Management, he played a pivotal role in developing Google Ads across Search, Mobile, Shopping, and Travel, driving innovations that shaped the digital advertising landscape. Now, Jon's roles consist of Non Executive Director for Woolworths Group and Advisor/Investor to many companies. Hosted as an intimate Fireside Chat, with Brainmates CEO [Adrienne Tan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/adriennetan/) driving the fireside chat, this is a rare opportunity for the Australian product community to hear directly from someone who has operated at the highest levels of global product leadership. This will be an open, candid conversation exploring what it really takes to build enduring product organisations, lead through constant technological change, make high-stakes decisions, and develop the next generation of product leaders. We'll dive into topics including: * How product leadership has evolved across the world's biggest technology companies. * What separates exceptional product organisations from merely good ones. * Leading through AI, disruption and constant change. * Building products, teams and cultures that scale. * The lessons, mistakes and experiences that only come from operating at the very highest level. Following the fireside conversation, we'll open the floor for an audience Q&A, giving attendees the chance to ask their own questions and engage directly with one of the industry's most experienced product executives. We'll then continue the conversation over drinks and networking with Sydney's product community. **Evening timeline** 5.30 – 6.15pm: Arrive, grab a drink, and connect 6.15 – 7.15pm: Fireside conversation with Jon Alferness and audience Q&A 7.15 – 8.00pm: Networking, conversation, and connection Whether you're an experienced product leader, an aspiring executive, or simply curious about how the world's best product organisations think and operate, this promises to be an evening of practical insights, honest stories, and unforgettable access.

The Life You Built. What's Next? an intimate dinner for people in reinvention

The Life You Built. What's Next? an intimate dinner for people in reinvention

Mon, Aug 31, 8:30 AM
From At a Crossroads? Let's Talk About It
4.7

🎟️ This is a ticketed event. Tickets are $110 (includes a welcome drink & dinner) and are purchased on Humanitix **an RSVP on Meetup does not reserve your seat.** Book your spot here → [https://events.humanitix.com/the-life-you-built-what-s-next-an-intimate-dinner-for-people-in-reinvention](https://events.humanitix.com/the-life-you-built-what-s-next-an-intimate-dinner-for-people-in-reinvention) We're seeing a shift: in culture, in trust, in work, even in how we relate to time. This is an intimate gathering for a small group of people who feel a little disconnected from their current chapter. Maybe it's work. Maybe it's the sheer volume of change these last couple of years. Perhaps it's a quieter sense of lost purpose, or lost continuity and the feeling of starting to wonder what's next. This is an evening to share where we are: how we got here. Talk about that we may not know where to go next. A friendly conversation about that space in the middle. You feel like something's shifting. A sense that what you built isn't quite what fits anymore, and you're starting to wonder what's next. This is a dinner for that feeling, that moment in life. Ten to fifteen people around one table, a warm room, and an honest conversation about the in-between: where you've been, what's changed, and what might be calling now. No stage, no expert, no fixing. Just real talk between people quietly navigating the same thing. **What we'll explore:** * What still feels true about the life you've built, and what's started to feel inherited or not something you want to keep doing. * What you might design differently, starting from who you are now **Who this is for:** * Professionals who feel that what they've built no longer quite fits * People sensing a quiet identity shift, curious about what's next * Anyone in the "I did all the things I was supposed to do, but something doesn't feel right" middle **What to expect:** * An intimate dinner: 10 to 15 people around one table * A welcome drink on arrival, dinner, and a guided, honest conversation * Safe, confidential, judgment-free: share what you want, or just listen * A chance to find connection with like-minded people and be part of a community of people wanting to reinvent themselves **What this is NOT:** * Therapy, crisis support, or coaching * A networking event * A pre-set framework, or a quick fix * A sales pitch 👉 Reminder: RSVP-ing on Meetup doesn't hold a seat. This is a ticketed dinner, secure your place ($110, includes welcome drink & dinner) on Humanitix: [https://events.humanitix.com/the-life-you-built-what-s-next-an-intimate-dinner-for-people-in-reinvention](https://events.humanitix.com/the-life-you-built-what-s-next-an-intimate-dinner-for-people-in-reinvention)

Guided Women’s Business Networking

Guided Women’s Business Networking

Sat, Sep 5, 4:00 AM
From Her Collective Space | Dream Big, Build Bigger
4.7

**A monthly networking experience designed differently!** Our structured networking event is for women who want to grow, not just in business, but as individuals. Through meaningful conversations, thought-provoking reflection questions, and guided table rotations, you’ll gain fresh perspectives, build genuine connections, and challenge yourself to think bigger. **📝 How it works** **1\. Arrive & connect** You’ll be welcomed and seated at a table with a reflection prompt to kick-start the conversation. **2\. Dive into meaningful conversations** Each round explores a different question designed to spark honest discussions around business, personal growth, and the challenges that matter most. **3\. Meet someone new every 20 minutes** We guide every table rotation, so you’ll naturally connect with lots of different women throughout the evening, without any awkwardness. By the end of the night, you’ll leave with meaningful new connections, fresh perspectives, and greater clarity on your next steps. **🔎 How to Find Rabbit Bar** Rabbit Bar can be tricky to spot: 1. Go to the ground floor of **The Galeries** 2. Look for **Toastie Smith** 3. Behind it, you’ll see a semi-enclosed area 4. Walk down into that area 5. On your right, you’ll see a doorway. Enter it 6. Then look for another open door immediately to your right. That’s **Rabbit Bar**! 📲 **Got questions?** Feel free to message me here on Meetup. **Looking forward to a room full of real talk. See you there! xx** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Want to learn more about Her Collective Space?** Follow us on Instagram: [@hercollectivespace](http://www.instagram.com/hercollectivespace/)
