Quarterly Exchange + Activation 2026

· The Olsen Art Series, South Yarra

From PBN’s event listing

A curated evening for Pacific business owners, entrepreneurs, professionals, creatives, emerging leaders, students, graduates and strategic partners, built around three engagement zones: Connection, Capability and Commerce.

Quarterly Exchange + Activation is a curated experience designed to bring together Pacific business owners, entrepreneurs, professionals, creatives, emerging leaders, students, graduates and strategic partners from across Australia. More than an event, it creates an environment where relationships are built, knowledge is shared, and new opportunities for collaboration, trade and business growth begin.

Guests heard from Pacific business leaders and industry professionals representing entrepreneurship, manufacturing, food production, retail, exports and international trade, and moved freely between three engagement zones: Connection (build relationships and meet new people), Capability (learn from experienced leaders, mentors and industry experts) and Commerce (explore business opportunities, partnerships, trade and commercial collaborations).
