The People & Culture Unconference

You’re invited to the People & Culture Unconference!

This isn’t your average name-badge-and-napkin event. We’re bringing People & Culture leaders together for two days of real talk, fresh ideas, optional yoga (because balance), and just enough wine to make networking feel natural. Think less corporate snoozefest, more learning, laughing, and leaving with ideas you’ll actually use.

Agenda:

Day 1: November 11, 2025, Tue.

Drinks & Dinner
5:00 pm - Drinks
6:00 pm - Dinner capped by 9:00 pm

Location & Venue info:

Crystalbrook Vincent
5 Boundary St, Brisbane City QLD 4000

Unapologetically bold and buzzing with energy, Crystalbrook Vincent is all about river views, striking art, and cocktails that taste better than they probably should. More than just a hotel, it’s the backdrop for big ideas, late-night laughs, and the kind of networking that doesn’t feel like networking. Steps from Howard Smith Wharves, it’s where comfort meets a little mischief.

Make it official. We’ll save you a seat!

  • Think bold, comfy, and Brisbane-spring ready. In November, you’re looking at warm days (around 27 °C) and mild nights (around 18 °C), with the chance of a pop-up storm or two. Translation: light layers are your best friend. Rock your power outfit, your favourite sneakers, or that jacket you’ve been saving for the right moment. No stiff suits or stilettos required, just something you can move, mingle, and maybe sneak onto the dance floor in.

  • You bet they are. We won’t let you learn and lead on an empty stomach! Expect delicious, energising food and plenty of coffee to keep the vibes high and the brains buzzing. Dietary needs? We've got you. Just bring your appetite, we’ll take care of the rest (yes, snacks too 😉).

  • This is an intimate, invite-only event with just 30 seats at the table — so your name’s basically on the VIP list. If something comes up, you can transfer your spot, but only to someone from your own organisation (and ideally a fellow People & Culture human). No random project managers or plus-ones, we’re keeping it in the family. Drop us a line if you need to switch, and we’ll help make it smooth.

  • If you run into any issues booking your accommodation or flights for the event or if you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to reach out. You can email us anytime at admin@boldside.com.au and we’ll be happy to help.

  • Just your brilliant self, a curious mind, and maybe a notebook (if you’re the jotting-down-genius type). We'll handle the rest, from materials to meals to good vibes. Oh, and bring your best networking game… this room’s going to be packed with people you’ll want to meet.
