About connexU

Events are in our DNA

connexU was created to deliver a better B2B event format for the Australian market - one built on quality over quantity, meaningful connections and real commercial outcomes.

Our story

Built on a multi-sector heritage

connexU was founded by Tim Rusbridge and Paul Baker after years launching, managing and scaling major B2B events across the UK, Europe, the US, Asia and Australia. Having worked with some of the world's largest global event organisers, we saw an opportunity to create a better format for the Australian market - one built around quality over quantity, the right connections, and commercial outcomes over content for content's sake. Our events are highly targeted B2B experiences that bring buyers, relevant solution providers and industry leaders together through curated meetings, purposeful networking and focused content - all designed to help everyone involved discover new solutions, build valuable relationships and deliver stronger ROI.
