UNSURE ABOUT WHETHER TO BOOK? CHECK OUT OUR LATEST SPARK EVENT
SPARK is Dear Thrive's flagship evening event format. A theme is created, speakers have five minutes each to present a topic based on that theme. Events are held in Australian cities including Sydney and Brisbane normally in partnership with an organisation. Tickets are generally under AU$90 and the event brings together senior leaders, people managers, and HR professionals to explore the future of work.
Dear Thrive events are generally hosted by Amanda Behre, founder of Dear Thrive, alongside a rotating panel of expert advisors and guest speakers. The advisor network includes practitioners in data and AI, HR and change management, leadership brand, distributed team productivity, and inclusive leadership to name a few.
Most Dear Thrive events are ticketed and under $100 with the exception of formats such as small group events such as THRIVE or Accountability Circles. Registration is managed through Eventbrite and places are generally limited.
Dear Thrive events are currently held in Sydney and Brisbane and we are looking to expand to other capital cities. Online events available to anyone in the APAC region. The SPARK series rotates between cities; subscribers are notified by email (and this page!) when new events are announced.
Dear Thrive events focus on a variety of topics relevant to workplaces, teams, skills and careers. Individual talks within each event address leadership transitions, courageous conversations, AI literacy, team capability, and the skills senior leaders need to navigate accelerating change to name a few.
Yes, Dear Thrive works with organisations to co-host SPARK events and leadership workshops for their teams or industry networks. We align with you on topic areas that are relevant to your organisation. Contact hello@dearthrive.com to discuss event partnership options, including branded cohort events and B2B workshop formats.
