The July Batch
Your refined collection of the month's most impactful tech gatherings.
Hello and welcome to The Monthly Batch!
I'm Sarah, here to help you refine your professional presence and thrive in the ever-evolving tech world. You would have noticed a change, I’ve officially rebranded and moved away from "The Rattlin' Review" to something more refined. Think of it as a carefully crafted batch of the best Australia's tech scene has to offer.
Each month, I’ll distill the vast landscape of Australian tech events, bringing you a curated selection of conferences, workshops, and leadership summits. This July, we've truly outdone ourselves, with 127 incredible opportunities to connect, learn, and grow (and that’s not including online!). From seasoned pros to those just starting, there's something for everyone. Dive in, savour the insights, and plan your professional growth.
Don't forget, you can add each state's events directly to your calendar below, and let me know if you're attending any – I'd love to connect!
