Office hours

More than just a meeting

Your Next Breakthrough is Just One Conversation Away

The Hunter Innovation Festival introduces Office Hours—a globally-proven model designed to unlock potential, 20 minutes at a time.

More Than Just a Meeting.

Inspired by the collaborative energy of the world's leading innovation hubs such as Venture Café, Office Hours is not typical networking. This is a curated program designed to break down the barriers between great ideas and critical expertise. It’s about creating "engineered serendipity"—the kind of pivotal conversation that might otherwise take months to find, or never happen at all.

The concept is simple but powerful: we connect you, the innovator, with a seasoned professional for a confidential, focused, 20-minute, one-on-one session. It’s a safe space to ask the tough questions, be vulnerable about a challenge, and get direct, honest feedback without a sales pitch or a hefty price tag.

The Potential in 20 Minutes

What can really happen in 20 minutes? Everything. This is your chance to:

• Solve a Nagging Problem: Get an expert perspective on that one technical, legal, or marketing hurdle that's been slowing you down.

• Gain Instant Clarity: Cut through the noise and validate your assumptions with someone who has been there before.

• Save Months of Work: The right piece of advice at the right time can help you avoid a critical misstep, saving you invaluable time and resources.

• Find Your Next Step: Walk away with not just answers, but renewed energy and a clear, actionable direction.

This is your moment to tap into a wealth of knowledge. The booking system is being finalised and will launch very soon. Start preparing now. What is the single most important question you need answered to move forward?
