Location: Hilton Melbourne, Melbourne. Venue announced soon. [Venue is subject to change]

Main description:
AI has made outreach infinite. Every buyer's inbox is flooded with machine-written messages, every pipeline dashboard promises automation, and every revenue leader is being asked the same question: what do we build, what do we buy, and what do we protect?
SalesKon exists to answer it. This is the launch of Victoria's first dedicated sales, revenue and GTM executive community, brought to Melbourne by Konnectile, the curated B2B events business behind Sydney's most talked-about executive evenings.
One theme, three lenses:
The Leader.
How CROs and VPs of Sales are redesigning revenue orgs around AI: headcount, quota architecture, the evolution of the SDR role, and where human judgment stays non-negotiable.
The Engine. RevOps and GTM engineering: signal-based selling, AI-assisted outbound systems, the emerging GTM engineer role, and the build-vs-buy decisions shaping the modern revenue stack.
The Craft. What elite selling looks like when every inbox is full of machine-written outreach: discovery, trust, and the skills that appreciate as automation commoditises the rest.

5:45pm. Welcome from Mirela Xhota, Founder and CEO, Konnectile
