Money Talks

Tuesday 05 August 2025 | 05:15 PM

It was shaping up to be one of our most anticipated events yet. Tickets flew out the door faster than your money on payday, the guest speaker was locked, the drinks were chilling – and then Cyclone Alfred decided to rain (quite literally) on our parade.

Money Talks is officially back on, and YP Gold Coast, alongside Community Bank Paradise Point, Bendigo Bank, is ready to deliver the economic evening we almost had earlier this year. New date, same top-tier speaker, same stunning venue, same everything – minus the natural disaster.

If you’re wondering where interest rates are headed for the remainder of 2025, what global market trends are about to rock your bottom line, or whether you can keep your Uber Eats habit and save for a house, this is the guy with answers.

David Robertson’s not your average economist. With more than 23 years at Bendigo Bank and a career that spans CBA, State Bank of NSW and First Chicago, he’s got the knowledge, experience and delivery style that makes complex economic trends easy to understand and genuinely interesting. You’ll walk away not only smarter, but slightly more smug the next time someone brings up the RBA at Friday night drinks.

Oh, and in case you missed it – this exact event completely sold-out earlier this year in less than two weeks! So if you want in, we strongly suggest grabbing your ticket now. Your ticket includes a welcome drink on arrival, delicious roving canapés, and the chance to rub shoulders with other clever young professionals.

Cancel your Tuesday night couch plans, dust off your smart-casual best, and get ready for a night of money talk that doesn’t feel like hard work. The countdown is officially on and this time, Alfred’s not invited.

If you purchased a ticket to the original event, your payment was automatically refunded following the postponement. So, you’ll need to grab a new ticket to secure your spot this time around.
