3. Variety Suits Club

Variety Suits Club was created in 2002 to give Variety an opportunity to connect with the Victorian business community, and provide a forum for business leaders to network.

The aim of the Variety Suits Club is simple: to provide good food, good conversation and a speaker of note prepared to speak “off the record” and share insights that may not be in the public domain.

2013 will see a different format for Variety Suits Club. We will provide more information in regards to this very soon.

if you are interested in attending other variety events, please visit our upcoming events for more information.
