Frequently Asked Questions

  • We provide professional and personal development opportunities with a focus on building genuine and sustainable connections for our community.

    We are a not-for-profit organisation that operates with the generous support of our members and business partners. Founded in 2008 and originally known as Gen X Women, Gen Collective hosts events every second month, aiming to mix fun with personal development. We encourage you to not only come together to network but to develop friendships with other ambitious people in Newcastle and the Hunter.

  • Gen Collective hosts a variety of events, including networking nights, panel discussions, skill-building workshops, and social gatherings tailored to the interests and needs of professionals in the Hunter regions.

  • Absolutely! However, while some events may be open to non-members, priority access and discounted rates are typically reserved for members. We encourage non-members to consider joining to take full advantage of our offerings.

  • Whilst we operate an inclusive networking community we have naturally attracted an all female guest list for our past events. We do not have an age limit or industry restrictions and you do not have to be a member to attend.
