Held at the King Living Fortitude Valley Showroom, the event draws practitioners and students for an honest, unscripted conversation about what it means to build a career in architecture and design in Australia. The series has become one of the most candid formats in the local design calendar, trading polish for directness.<\/p>\n<p>Speakers for the Brisbane edition will be confirmed closer to the date, but the format is consistent: each presenter reflects on formative decisions, wrong turns and the questions that have defined their practice. The conversation is moderated and followed by an open Q&amp;A, with networking continuing through the evening. King Living&#8217;s Fortitude Valley showroom provides a fitting backdrop \u2014 a space where considered material craft and commercial production sit side by side.<\/p>\n<p>Doors open at 6pm with the programme running through to 8pm. Free to attend with registration required.
