Beyond Business Cards: A Night of Connection & Community Our Beyond Business Cards networking event was a sensational success, bringing together YOGs and current parents for an evening of meaningful connections and shared stories.
Guests were treated to inspiring talks from Mike Tanner and Emma-Rose Parsons (YOG 1998), a fabulous live performance by Zara Nicholls (YOG 2018)聽and structured networking sessions that sparked genuine conversations and new opportunities.
We had great food, a buzzing atmosphere and a strong sense of community. The night truly lived up to its name - proving that the best connections go far beyond a business card.
We鈥檙e already looking forward to the next one!

Our congratulations to the players for putting in such a strong effort!
And of course a huge commendation聽to the entire Old Yarra Cobras Football Club players,聽coaches, volunteers and supporters for an incredible season and we looking forward to seeing you all #StrikeFirst in 2026!
