We're excited to share details of our next Sandhurst Business Collective evening — and this one is shaping up to be a great night.

Event Details

📅 Date: Thursday, 30th July 2026

🕖 Time: 6pm registration

📍 Venue: Sandhurst Club

Theme: Marketing and Social Media with Purpose

Following our recent member survey, this was your most requested topic — so we listened. Our July event will explore how business owners can use marketing and social media with clarity, intention, and real results.

Guest Speaker: Ruwan Wellalage

We're delighted to welcome Ruwan Wellalage, a seasoned marketing consultant, as our guest speaker for the evening. Ruwan is a Marketing Consultant at Skalably, a consultancy that helps businesses simplify their marketing and build programs and strategies that deliver sustainable commercial growth. He specialises in building marketing strategies that are grounded in commercial outcomes, ensuring every activity is designed to contribute to measurable business growth, not just visibility or brand aesthetics. His focus is on helping organisations align marketing with real business performance, strengthening customer engagement, and improving the bottom line.

We know you'll find his insights both practical and inspiring.

A Small Cover Charge — Here is Why

To help cover the cost of nibbles on the night, we will be introducing a modest $10 cover charge for this event. This simply ensures we can continue providing a welcoming atmosphere and a great spread for everyone. Payment can be made easily as part of the registration process via the link below.

Introducing: Business Spotlights & Expo Stalls

We're launching something new this month that we are really excited about — a chance to put the spotlight on the incredible businesses within our own community.

This idea came directly from you — it was a popular request in our recent member survey.

Each event will now feature:

• 1 Business Spotlight — a 3–5 minute on-stage presentation from a member business owner
• 2 Business Expo Stalls — a small side display to showcase your products, services, or gifts to fellow members.

Selection will be made via a random draw, so every interested member has an equal chance. As part of your registration, you'll be invited to nominate whether you would like to be considered for a spotlight or stall, and whether you have anything you wouldd like to share or showcase on the night.
