Challenges, Opportunities & Context
Let's gather on the night before The Blockies for an evening of real talk and relaxed connection at HWL Ebsworth’s Melbourne CBD offices. From 5pm on Thursday 27 November 2025, we'll gather as founders, professionals, and community members who are helping to shape Australia’s digital asset and blockchain landscape. Food, drinks, and great company provided.
Hosted by ALL THINGS BLOCKCHAIN, this event offers a chance to reconnect with industry peers and meet new movers and shakers before the champagne flutes and awards night glitz. Whether you're a seasoned builder or just getting started, this evening is designed to bring together passionate voices from across the sector.
Our speaker line-up includes legal, technical, and community leaders. Mizu Ardra will provide a high-level overview of where Australian regulation sits globally. Amy-Rose Goodey will speak to the evolution of the DLT space and DECA’s vision. Lisa Wade will close out by sharing the latest from Fableration.
