Melbourne watch out, Sydney is catching up!

Dear all

Last Wednesday I had a great pleasure to meet our members from the Sydney chapter and what an evening it was!

Fifteen of us met at KPMG for an informal introduction and discussion about ASOP, its purpose, its past and its future. A lot of good and challenging questions, some great suggestions, planned presentations, mentoring offers and much more. After about two hours discussion, we continued our networking across the road in a great little terrace bar over few drinks and some amazing stories. Few of us welcomed number 12 on our watches by the time we arrived home. And it was worth every minute! Thank you Sydney, you made it a great ASOP event!

What will follow out of this meeting is a number of changes, some bigger some smaller, a number of presentations, hopefully new projects and most importantly an ever growing and strengthening ASOP chapter in Sydney. As we mentioned in the past, we would love to see a healthy and constructive competition between Melbourne and Sydney…where both locations will try to outdo each other in terms of presentations’ quality, member numbers and projects. 

We have recently received requests to open chapters in Adelaide, Perth and Canberra. As we are currently focusing most of our efforts on Sydney, we are also looking for technical solution to enable our members in other cities to participate in our presentations. Once Sydney and Melbourne are on the same level, we will commence establishing other branches. 

Kind regards
