Wyndham Entrepreneur Connect Presents:
More than money
A Different Kind of Investment Conversation
APR 29, 2026 | 6 PM - 9 PM
Holiday Inn, Werribee
What if the most important investments we make in life have nothing to do with money?
When most people hear investment, they think of numbers: Returns. Assets. Growth.
But the truth is that the decisions that shape your future are rarely financial alone.
They are found in:
The time you invest in learning
The relationships you choose to build
The communities you contribute to
The vision you hold for your life
More Than Money is an invitation to step into a deeper, more meaningful conversation about what it really means to invest.
A space where business, wealth, leadership, and personal development intersect.
Where different perspectives meet.
Where assumptions are challenged.
Where new ways of thinking emerge.
Because true wealth isn’t just measured in numbers, it’s shaped by the choices we make every day.
This is not a finance seminar.
This is a real conversation.
A Conversation About the Future of Investment
We are living in a time where success is being redefined. And with it comes new questions:
What does wealth really mean today?
How do our values influence the way we invest?
What role do people, knowledge, and community play in long-term success?
How do we build a future that is not only financially strong—but deeply fulfilling?
More Than Money brings these questions to life through a powerful, multi-perspective dialogue.
A space where business, wealth, leadership, and personal development intersect.
Where different perspectives meet.
Where assumptions are challenged.
Where new ways of thinking emerge.
Because true wealth isn’t just measured in numbers, it’s shaped by the choices we make every day.
A Different Kind of Event Experience
This is not about sitting back and listening.
This is about thinking, engaging, and contributing.
Interactive
Table Conversations
The evening begins with a guided table conversation where participants will explore their own views on wealth, opportunity and investment.
This creates an open and engaging environment where everyone can contribute to the discussion.
Dynamic
Panel Discussion
Our panel brings together four experienced voices with very different perspectives on wealth and investment.
Rather than a traditional panel format, this conversation will take a more dynamic, debate-style approach, encouraging different viewpoints and deeper discussion.
Audience-Led
Dialogue
Throughout the evening participants will have the opportunity to contribute questions and reflections, helping shape the conversation in real time.
This format ensures the evening is not simply about listening, it is about participating in a meaningful dialogue.

About WE Connect
More Than Networking. A Movement.
Wyndham Entrepreneur Connect exists to cultivate a strong, sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystem across Wyndham, one where people feel supported, seen, and genuinely connected.
We believe the most powerful growth happens when relationships come before referrals, conversations come before transactions, and wellbeing is valued alongside ambition. That’s why WE Connect was designed as a sales-free space where entrepreneurs, professionals, and creatives can show up as themselves and build trust without pressure.
This is a sales‑free zone where people come before pitches and connection comes before transactions.
Our Founder
Imran Abul Kashem
Founder, WE Connect
WE Connect was founded by Imran Abul Kashem, a serial entrepreneur and creative who believes in the power of community-led growth.
Through his work with the Westend brand ecosystem across Melbourne’s west, Imran saw a gap: while opportunities were expanding, meaningful spaces for connection and support were lacking.
WE Connect was created to fill that gap by bringing entrepreneurs together in an environment that values genuine relationships, wellbeing, and sustainable success over hustle culture.
Today, it stands as a space where ambition is nurtured, connections matter, and success is shared.
