Welcome to Brisbane’s fetch
Another post to briefly announce we’ve launched The Fetch in Brisbane. For those not aware what the fetch is The Fetch, I’ll recount some details… It’s basically a what’s on guide to your city’s business, digital and creative communities.

How to organise your own meetup
