To all of our Equity Mates who signed up or expressed interest in FinFest 2023,
Regrettably, we have decided to postpone FinFest until 2024.
Last year, we put in a tremendous amount of effort to launch FinFest, and we couldn’t have achieved it without your support and the backing of our partners.
The current economic climate and cost of living crisis has seen many businesses reduce marketing budgets. As a result, it has become impossible to deliver FinFest 2023 at the scale and quality we desire.
We did explore the option of hosting a smaller event, but it became clear that it wouldn’t live up to the standards we set for FinFest. We also looked at raising ticket prices, but this was not in the spirit of making finance fun and accessible.
Equity Mates stands for a more accessible finance industry. And FinFest was our opportunity to show the industry that finance events didn’t have to be held at 11am on a Tuesday in a non-descript convention centre. That there was a new generation of investors out there waiting to be engaged.
We don’t want to compromise the experience we created for you last year. As the saying goes, we are only as good as our last event, and we want to ensure that the next one surpasses all expectations.
Therefore, we are currently working on plans for FinFest 2024.
Here’s what you need to know moving forward:
- FinFest 2024 Date: October 26th – Stay subscribed to this mailing list to be the first to receive updates on plans and ticket availability.
- Despite the postponement, we still want to offer an in-person experience for the Equity Mates community in 2023. We are planning to organize small pub-style shows in major cities across Australia later this year. More details about these shows will be provided soon.
We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, and we genuinely look forward to welcoming you at one of the smaller shows later this year.
