QLD: What We’re Building, Backing & Breaking Through
Time: 4:00–7:00pm
Venue: The Precinct, Fortitude Valley

This event brings together people working across sport, technology, research, government and related sectors to share what’s being built, backed and breaking through across the State. You’ll hear directly from people on the ground, see emerging ideas and initiatives, and contribute your own perspective through a live ecosystem pulse designed to capture what the ecosystem is seeing, experiencing and needing right now.
The evening is designed to be open, interactive and conversational — focused on real activity, practical insights and meaningful connections rather than long presentations or formal panels.
