Optimal Leadership Circle
Cumulus Inc • Thu 18 September • Exclusively by invitation
Join a select group of senior product, design, and strategy leaders for an exclusive dinner conversation in Melbourne, that's well worth staying late for.
Hosted by Optimal, this is a private, invitation-only gathering for senior leaders. Peer-to-peer, no panels, no pitches - just meaningful, off-the-record dialogue.
It's a chance to share what's happening in your world, hear what's ahead for others, and connect with peers facing similar strategic challenges over exceptional food and wine.
Dinner, thoughtfully curated
We've designed an evening that balances great food with meaningful conversation, creating space for both connection and insight.
Join us early for a relaxed arrival, drinks, and conversation before we take our seats.
A short welcome to set the tone, introduce the team, and frame the conversations ahead.
We'll start the conversation with some brief introductions and then diving into our themes for the day.
Over dinner, we'll discuss several themes, and open the conversation up for group reflections.
A sweet finish to the meal and a final chance to share insights, connect across tables, or simply listen in.
We’ll wrap on time; with thanks, next steps, and a warm goodbye.
