WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?

LEARN WHAT WORKS
PRECINCT brings together practitioners, operators, and experts who’ve built, scaled, and adapted through real experience. In workshops and practical sessions, you’ll dive into the details: fundraising, hiring, storytelling, systems, sales, leadership, and more. It’s not theory; it’s what’s actually working right now. You’ll leave each session with tools, frameworks, and ideas you can apply immediately, not next quarter.
BUILD DEEPLY VALUABLE Connections
PRECINCT is designed for connection. Across vibrant spaces and curated moments, you’ll meet founders, investors, and leaders who are actively shaping what’s next. Every conversation is a chance to learn, collaborate, or spark something new. It’s where introductions turn into opportunities and ideas start to move.
sharpen your edge
In the fast-moving world of startups and scaleups, the advantage belongs to those who keep learning. PRECINCT gives you access to sharp, actionable insights that help you make smarter moves. Whether you’re refining your pitch, building your go-to-market strategy, or strengthening your leadership, you’ll gain clarity and confidence through hands-on learning that sticks.
build with others
No one builds alone, and PRECINCT is where collaboration happens on the ground. Between tactical sessions, panels, and peer exchanges, you’ll work alongside people facing the same challenges and opportunities. You’ll swap stories, test ideas, and gain feedback that accelerates your next step. It’s a shared learning environment that multiplies momentum.

HAVE A QUESTION?

Can I transfer my ticket?
Absolutely! You can transfer your ticket to someone else up to 14 days before the event. Just make sure all the new details are updated in time so we can welcome them properly.
When will the full program be live?
We’ll be sharing the final program in Feb 2026 ..  it’s worth the wait! Keep an eye on your inbox, website and our socials for reveals in the lead up. 
Where should I book accomodation?
We recommend finding a spot on the east side of Adelaide’s CBD .. it’s close to the action and easy to get around. For the final day, we’ll be heading to McLaren Vale (yes, wine country!), so we’d love for you to make a night of it and stay over there too.
What's the dress code?
Think smart-casual meets comfy. You’ll be moving, mingling, and exploring, so wear what makes you feel good and ready for connection.
WHERE CAN I FIND & REGISTER FOR THE COMMUNITY SESSIONS? 
Community session registrations will open in January 2026. We’ll share all the details when the program drops .. you won’t want to miss it.
