Our Story

Our vision is to connect people and purpose for good — through community and events.

We see ourselves as stewards, dot-connectors, challengers, and explorers of possibility — setting the stage for unlikely groups to gather.

Over the years, we have seen and filled our rooms with grassroots non-profits, local businesses, aligned Government departments, start-ups and so much more — all with the purpose of supporting long-lasting sustainable change. We are firm believers in building relationships that unlock meaningful conversation and collaboration between organisations — and ultimately an opportunity to solve big complex problems together.

A membership with The Platform and Purpose Studio comes super-charged with a powerful, like-minded community for you to do your best work!
