Grab a drink, hear a remarkable story, and meet some great people.

Some of the world’s most loved brands began as a dream written on a piece of paper. For Kristina Karlsson, that dream became kikki.K, the Swedish-inspired design brand she founded in Melbourne in 2001 and grew to more than 100 stores across five countries. Then, after building a brand so many people loved, Kristina had to start again, and she did it with Dream Life.

Join us in the Harbour Room at The Oriana for a relaxed afternoon of drinks, canapés and conversation with Kristina, CAPITAL-e CEO Andrew Everingham and a small group of fellow marketing leaders.

In conversation with

Andrew Everingham

CEO & Founder, CAPITAL-e

Andrew Everingham founded CAPITAL-e in 2011 on a simple belief: if it's not fun, we're not doing it right. Today he leads a team creating experiences for innovative brands across APAC and beyond. Outside the agency, Andrew is passionate about his Gathering Matters work and the power of bringing people together. After hearing Kristina speak last year, he knew everyone needed to hear her story. (He's also warned us you'll fall a little bit in love with her husband, Paul, along the way.)
