OV Open Mic: Share Your Ideas
Hi OV Melbourne,
We're back — and this time, we're handing the mic to you. 🎤
OV Melbourne is excited to bring our community together for something a little different: OV Open Mic: Share Your Ideas. Whether you've been quietly building something on the side, sitting on a concept you can't stop thinking about, or navigating a big career pivot — this is your space to put it out there.
We're opening up a few short slots for community members to share a project, idea, or something they've been working on. This could be a startup, a side hustle, a career move, or even something personal. No polished pitch deck required. No investor panel. Just a warm, curious crowd ready to listen, ask good questions, and maybe even become your next collaborator or supporter. 🙌
This event is open to both our OV members and the wider open community — a chance to experience the OV Melbourne spirit in a relaxed, ideas-first setting.
Overseas Vietnamese is one of the world's largest global networks of Vietnamese professionals, entrepreneurs, and leaders. In Melbourne, we're building something special: a local chapter that honours our heritage while embracing diverse, multidisciplinary journeys. Nights like this are how we grow that — one idea at a time.
