About Lunch and Learn
Members Lunch and Learn is a series of peer-to-peer learning sessions exclusive to StartSpace Members.
Each session will be delivered by a fellow founder and StartSpace member who has knowledge to share that may help you in your own venture. It’s designed to be a short session over lunch where you can take a break, learn something new while eating your lunch and have a chance to meet other founders.
These sessions are free to attend and are usually scheduled to run every 3rd Thursday of the month in 2024 from 12:30pm-1:15pm in StartSpace Ground Floor. It’s essential to book so we can effectively manage the attendance for each session.
Please note these events do not include catering. You are welcome to bring along your lunch and eat it during the session.
