Skill Exchange
🔄 What if your next breakthrough came from someone you haven’t met yet? Join CIN x Generalist World for an evening of skill-swapping and micro-collaborations. This isn’t networking – it’s practical problem-solving with a global community of makers, thinkers, and doers.
How it works:
✨ Share what you need help with
🎯 Offer what you’re great at
🤝 Connect with people who can actually help Perfect for requests like:
“Review my portfolio”
“Soundboard this wild idea”
“Check if my chart communicates clearly”
“Help me set up a workshop in Miro”
“User test my app prototype”
“Find tech companies in Melbourne”
“Craft messaging for my business”
"Point me to great books/podcasts on strategy
"Share advice for shifting into a new industry”
“Talk through a tough stakeholder challenge”
“Suggest visuals to simplify a complex idea”
“Help me prepare for a tricky client conversation”
*These should be asks that would take 1-2 hours max to do
On the night:
The night will function like speed dating style conversations. There will be 2-3 rounds where you will get to chat with people, skill share and spark collaboration!
After the event, we’ll share a Miro board capturing all the skills offered by the group, so you can follow up with anyone you didn’t get a chance to connect with during the session
We can’t wait to share some skills and have lots of fun while doing it :)
While we encourage skill sharing this event is not for those looking to sell specific services or products.

Ideas to Innovation
Ever had a brilliant idea but struggled to get it out into the world? You're not alone. This session is all about bridging the gap between creative vision and real-world impact. 💡
Join us with speaker Jess Price, founder and Chief Vision Officer of Paradigm Makers, as she brings her lived experience in understanding the future of work and turning ideas into real-world change. Whether you're sitting on a side project, trying to scale your creative work, or looking for ways to make change happen in your organisation, this evening is designed to give you real-world insights.
Everyday Innovation
We often think about innovation through a commercial lens - product launches, capital gains, scalable tech. But what if we flipped the script and explored innovation on a more personal level?
This event dives into the idea of personal innovation - using creative thinking and problem-solving to make everyday life better.
Brew & Brainstorm
Join us for Brew & Brainstorm, a casual evening of conversation, creativity, and community. Whether you're a designer, strategist, entrepreneur, or just someone who loves exploring bold ideas, this is a space to connect and spark new ideas.
