billabong book exchange
billabong is home for high-agency builders, hackers, researchers and creators. a watering hole where curiosity compounds and momentum gathers
in a world of short-from feeds, instant ai answers, and surface level takes, we rarely slow down to share the deeper sources that helped shape us.
this event is a counter trend experiment
a reminder that purposeful knowledge is a gift and that books remain one of humanity's more powerful technologies for transferring insight, provoking self-reflection and sparking new ideas.
everyone who attends brings:
one book (physical book pls -> to be exhcanged)
one deep insight about it
a story of why it matters
the willingness to exchange knowledge with strangers
the night blends the intimacy of a house gathering with the spark of australia’s growing innovation scene. a place for people who care about community, possibility, and elevating the ideas and mindset that move this country forward.
throughout the evening, you’ll discover books you’ve never heard of, ideas you’ll want to explore, and conversations that might change what you read next.
some books will be swapped, others simply showcased. the goal is exposure, exchange, and passing knowledge forward in whatever form feels right.
books carry the momentum of minds. tonight, we pass it on.
