Hear from Ben Shewry
Head Chef and owner of Attica, once ranked the 20th best restaurant in the world. His journey from a small rural town to global recognition reflects the same core belief we champion at Techstars: Australians can build world-class outcomes from right here at home. Featured on Chef’s Table and author of Uses for Obsession, Ben will share lessons on leadership, resilience, and building something extraordinary.
Join Us at Afters on the Harbour
We’ll wrap up the night in style aboard a three-storey boat cruising through Sydney Harbour. Each level offers a different atmosphere, from relaxed lounge spaces to a rooftop party with unbeatable views. Guests will have the option to disembark one or two hours after we depart at 9:00 pm.
