Welcome to Fresh Networking – Hawthorn Hub

Tucked into Melbourne’s inner east, our Hawthorn Hub is where great business connections and good coffee go hand in hand. We’re a thriving group of professionals, business owners, and entrepreneurs who believe networking should be structured and enjoyable.

At Hawthorn, you’ll find a dynamic mix of industries—from finance and property to marketing, health, and consulting. What we all have in common is a genuine desire to build meaningful relationships, share referrals, and support each other’s success. We’re not here to hard-sell—we’re here to grow, collaborate, and help each other thrive.

Our meetings strike the perfect balance of fun and focus. There’s structure to keep things moving, education to keep us sharp, and plenty of laughs to keep it real. If you’re looking for a network that shows up for each other and doesn’t feel like a chore, you’ve found your people.

We meet every Thursday morning in a relaxed café setting, and guests are always welcome. Whether you’re just starting out or scaling up, join us at Fresh Hawthorn and experience networking the way it should be—genuine, supportive, and full of opportunity.

 

 

 

Our Next Meeting

At each meeting, one of the hub members is the main speaker, and gives a 10-minute presentation.

They share their knowledge and insights, and help us get to know them and their business.

See who’s up next and what you’ll learn from their presentation.
