EO Melbourne Chapter News

February 2025

Hi ,

We have a big few months coming up!

First up, our SOLD-OUT event with Cameron Herold, The 2nd in Command & Growing Your People, is happening soon. With over 100 people registered and a waitlist already building, it's set to be an incredible session. If you’re keen to join, jump on the waitlist now.

Then, in less than 30 days, we’re off to Phuket for the NEXUS Chapter Retreat. This retreat is going to be next-level—unforgettable speakers, an incredible agenda, and a once-in-a-lifetime social event at the world’s only floating beach club. 

If you haven’t already, check out the agenda.

A couple of members can no longer make it and are looking to transfer their tickets. If you’re interested, reach out to hello@nexusretreat.com.au to enquire.

And finally, if you’d like to bring your partner to NEXUS, now’s your last chance—email hello@nexusretreat.com.au to secure a ticket for your loved one.

As always, feel free to reach out via email, call, or WhatsApp if you’d like to chat.

Cheers,

EO MELBOURNE EVENT CANCELLATION POLICY:

Starting 1 March 2025, EO Melbourne members who cannot attend an event they’ve registered for must cancel their registration at least 72 hours before the event via email at help@eomelbourne.org or SMS to the Administrator.

The required notice period is increasing from 24 hours to 72 hours, while the $100 fine for no-shows and late cancellations and the forum point deduction system will remain unchanged. This change is designed to improve event planning and ensure fairness for all members.

For the 23 March 2025 EO Melbourne Family Day at Luna Park, the current 24-hour cancellation policy will still apply, as registrations have already commenced under existing terms.
