Can’t wait! See you there folks!

Here's the next batch of speakers for this year's TG Lightning Talks @ MIGW2025!

Will there be a part 3? Follow us to find out🤫

A whopping 1-minute walk away from Port Melbourne Town Hall is the Tipsy Cow and they reserved their lovely loft area specifically for our attendees who would like to continue the fun and chat while holding some beers 🍻 and specialty cocktails 🍸

What would TG Lightning Talks @ Melbourne International Games Week be without kick-ons after???

They are also a supporter of the local community and have recently made changes to their cafe in Preston. If you are around the area, pop by and say hello! ☕️

Our menu will be released next week, but it will be vegetarian-based with vegan and gluten-free options. Nibbles during networking hour is super important to us and we are so glad to have Nada by our side. 💖

While we are working hard to make an event that will surely make a mark at Games Week, Nada from Dragonfly Cafe & Deli has also been working hard curating a menu that’s both delicious and nutritious for our attendees!
