Thanks to everyone who joined us in Melbourne for our Travel Industry Social with Stripe at Easey’s rooftop bar in Collingwood for an evening of travel industry networking and connections.
We had a great turnout with many new members joining us — including new and established travel media and journalists, tour operators, and travel tech founders. A highlight of the evening was visiting Easey’s rooftop train carriages. Following decades of service carrying commuters on Melbourne’s rail network, the carriages now seat restaurant patrons five stories above ground!
Thanks to James Lemon, Global Lead for Hospitality, Travel & High growth industries at Stripe for joining us and sharing his insights from last week’s Stripe Sessions in San Francisco.

Thanks to all our members for coming along (both old and new) and I hope everyone made some new connections in our wonderful travel community here in Melbourne.
A big thanks to Casey (@kckiwigirl) for helping us host the event at Easey's and for connecting our community with new media and journalists in town. And well done to @james-lemon for making it to Melbourne all the way from San Francisco the LONG WAY (via London and Singapore). That may be a record for longest way to get to a meetup.
I loved the graffiti artwork throughout the venue, it reminded me of our old co-working space in Berlin next door to Watergate in Kreuzberg!
PS: There's a Berlin easter egg in the photos... if you can spot it post a comment! 😉
An honour and privilege!! A cool space for an even cooler group of people!
Fab photos! Thank you, everyone, for coming out to play! We're blessed to work in such a wonderful industry.
Great event for connecting with Melbourne-based travel industry shakers and movers.
