Bitcoin Eastern Suburbs - Social - Coogee

This month's Bitcoin Eastern Suburbs Meet-up will be held at the **Coogee Legion Club**. This is a casual, unstructured social meetup: grab a pint and some food, sit together and chat bitcoin. There are no speakers or presentations (the main Bitcoin Sydney meetups cover those), which makes it an excellent place to learn about what bitcoin is, and isn't. We'll have experienced Bitcoiners attending to answer questions you might have and who can guide you through the basics of setting up a bitcoin wallet, making payments, or setting up your business to accept bitcoin payments. **Attendees are welcome to cover topics such as:** * What bitcoin is and isn't * Why Bitcoin Exists * How Bitcoin Supports Human Rights Efforts * How to Secure Bitcoin / 'Cold Storage' * How to Accept Bitcoin as a Merchant / Retailer * Setting up a Self-managed Superannuation Fund * Grassroots Adoption / Circular Economies * Running a Node **When** Third Wednesday of every month, from 6pm. **NOSTR / Satlantis** Follow Bitcoin Sydney on NOSTR - Meetups listed via [Satlantis](https://www.satlantis.io/p/npub1nk78d7y9tgxknkuywm5sfz58h45cxh38dhagjr2tw8yw5sr9pqlsjlmmlq) npub: npub1nk78d7y9tgxknkuywm5sfz58h45cxh38dhagjr2tw8yw5sr9pqlsjlmmlq

It can draft client emails, process documents and answer questions around the clock. But your business doesn’t run on speed. It runs on trust. Clients trust you with their finances and their confidential information. Referral partners trust you with their reputation every time they send someone your way. Most practice owners are asking how to use AI. Fewer are asking the harder question: will it strengthen the trust my business is built on, or quietly wear it down? This December, we are bringing together three leaders from finance broking, AI and technology, and sales to explore that question. We’ll look at where AI genuinely helps, where it puts client and referral relationships at risk, and how to get the balance right. Not theory. Not hype. A grounded, practical conversation for accounting and finance professionals. *** #### **Meet the Panel** **Chanel Cicchiello** Founder and Director, Florentina Finance Chanel Cicchiello is a finance broker who helps SMEs secure the right funding through a trusted panel of lenders. 95% of Florentina Finance’s business comes through referrals, a reputation built on trust, transparency and consistent client outcomes. *Chanel has built her business on referral relationships and client trust.* **Todd Johnson** Fractional Chief AI Officer, CIO and CTO, InnovateX Solutions Todd Johnson helps businesses turning over $2 million to $200 million put AI into everyday work. His 15 years span software, networks and security architecture, including government programs at PROTECTED classification. Tired of consulting that left businesses with reports instead of fixes, he founded InnovateX Solutions. *Todd helps businesses put AI into everyday work, not just into reports.* **Sharon Phillips** Founder and CEO, Sales 2 Success Sharon Phillips brings 30+ years of B2B enterprise sales and leadership experience. She helps business owners communicate their value, build stronger client relationships and create consistent, repeatable sales habits. *Sharon helps business owners build the client relationships that drive sustainable growth.* *** **What You Will Take Away** This is not a lecture. It is a moderated panel conversation designed to shift how you think about AI, trust and your business. You will walk away with: **Clarity on what AI should and shouldn’t do in your business.** You’ll learn where AI adds real value, and where human judgement and relationships still need to lead. **A clearer view of the trust risks.** You’ll see how AI use can affect client confidence, data protection and referral relationships, and what to watch for. **Practical next steps you can take this week.** Each panellist will share one specific, low-barrier action you can implement immediately. **New professional connections.** You’ll meet potential referral partners who complement your services and share your commitment to building something that lasts. *** **Facilitator** Alexandra Quinn, CPA Alexandra Quinn is an Authentic Leadership Expert, international professional speaker, certified business and mindset coach for Accounting and Finance businesses, and best-selling author. She co-authored *Cracking the Business Mastery Code* with Brian Tracy.

Sydney Money Club — FIRE, Saving, Investing & Everything Money

**Sydney Money Club — FIRE, Saving, Investing & Everything Money** One of our members suggested we have a session on the FIRE movement — Financial Independence, Retire Early — so let’s give it a go. We’ll spend some time talking about FIRE: what it is, whether it’s realistic, saving rates, investing and the trade-offs involved. Then we’ll open it up into a completely free-form money discussion — what are you saving for, how are you saving, what are you investing in, what do you want to understand better? We also have a couple of stocks we are going to talk about as requested by members. If you have any you're curious about, please put them in the event chat. **No assumed knowledge whatsoever.** Beginners are very welcome. I work as a share analyst, so I’m very happy to talk about shares and investing all day long, but this isn’t intended to be a lecture. Bring whatever money questions or subjects interest you and we’ll see where the conversation goes. We’ll keep this one small — around 10 people — and grab a table at the pub for a relaxed chat over drinks and nibbles.

Sydney SEO Collective - Frederic Chanut (The AI Attribution Gap)

The Sydney SEO Collective is back for our November 2026 meetup! After a month off in October, we're returning with a question every SEO is being asked right now: what is AI search actually worth? This month, we're thrilled to have Frederic (Freddy) Chanut, Founder and Executive Chairman of In Marketing We Trust, as our keynote speaker. He'll be presenting "The AI Attribution Gap: What AI search is actually worth." AI assistants read everything we publish and send almost nobody back, and our analytics stack was never built for that trade. Most teams can now tell you whether they show up in AI answers. Very few can tell you what that visibility earned the business. In this 30-minute talk, Freddy will present seven instruments that turn the question from "are we visible" into "what did it earn". The first four are free, and you can have them running by Friday. The next three are about getting your answer heard in the boardroom, so you can walk into your next budget conversation with numbers instead of screenshots. Freddy is a Sydney SEO industry veteran and founder of In Marketing We Trust, where he works at the intersection of search, data, growth and AI. He's spent over 15 years looking at the web through Google's Goggles, holding CMO, Managing Director and head of inbound marketing roles along the way. Today he helps mid-market and enterprise teams across APAC build growth engines and teams for their businesses.

It's about asking those tough questions and getting group consensus on what is the possible implications or complications on a particular method or technique you're thinking of using. We encourage a mix of business owners, web developers, affiliate marketers, SEM and SEO professionals as we all have small tips that will help you perform better online and play smarter. SEO Collective is just a relaxed and informal session on digital and web marketing, come along and meet others in your community no matter if you're a business owner, consultant, in-house or part of a larger agency. ## RSVP now to claim your free ticket!
