Our guest speaker, Kerrie McIlvray, for our June events in Sydney and Brisbane quickly became a beloved member of BIO, sharing her care, participation and business expertise.
But who is @kerriemcgilvray and what does she do - and why?
"Most businesses don’t fail, they simply can’t operate or be sold without the founder.
She works with founder-led businesses to reduce owner dependency, strengthen leadership, and build the structure needed to scale, succeed, and prepare for exit.
As founder of The Admin Superheroes and owner of Justified Talent, she combines operational strategy and talent expertise to help businesses increase enterprise value and function independently of the founder.
If you're scaling, preparing for sale, or want a business that can thrive without you at the centre, Kerrie brings practical insights you won’t want to miss."

🕺 Did you know corduroy is making a comeback? 😮
We were surprised too but that's why we have a community of smart people in the know who are experts in their own field!
Last Thursday night, we held our monthly Brisbane business connection event with style and personal brand expert @oscarhunt_vinny Lo at Oscar Hunt Tailor & Showroom.
The night was less about fashion and whether you love corduroy but more about creating your own sense of style and how you show up, from the inside out.
We loved seeing so many of our QLD business community and can't wait to do it all again this month!
Join us in Sydney on Thurs 14th May or Brisbane Thurs 28th May for a night of dart-throwing!

This month we're talking about how you show up - your presence, mindset, approach, style and brand.
Some highlights from our Sydney event thanks to @roryforbes.lange and our guest speaker @fernando.kul from @rileyandsons.atelier
👉 Next stop Brisbane Thurs 30 April at the @Oscar Hunt showroom in Teneriffe hosted by BIO member and guest speaker @oscarhunt_vinny - all info and tickets in comments or in our Insta bio.
You could almost hear a pin drop on Thursday night as @fernando.kul@rileyandsons.atelier took us on a journey around style, clothing, how we FEEL and how this is so different to fashion and trends.
🤔 We were curious to understand why creating your own presence through what you wear and how you feel in it goes so much deeper than 'do you look good?' - it certainly got us thinking!
🎉 We do something different every time we run a BIO event.
👉 April is all about connecting and style >> in Sydney last week and >> Brisbane 30th April.
👉 in May we're throwing darts over good chats & drinks
👉 in June we're talking about business systems to avoid burnout
🤝 Connect with us and our community of business leaders and owners at any of our locations - all dates, info and tickets via link in comments or in our bio.

It's really fun putting on events which feel more like a dinner party with friends than business networking!
Last Thursday night in Sydney saw over 40 people come together, all types of businesses & walks of life, to connect, learn something and see how they could help each other.
🎂 We also had a reason to celebrate:
It was our birthday!
BIO Australia was founded 7 years ago, to do things different and create a community of bright sparks who want to see each other grow and succeed.
❤️ Thank you to our incredible members and guests over the years - here's to another 7!
