New SACC member – 100 Point Challenge – launch event in Sydney, December 2019.
Join us on 5 December for a networking event with a difference! We’ll be playing the 100 Point Challenge – a game, a race, and quiz. It’s a fantastic way to explore and learn about Sydney’s history and culture and will give you the opportunity to network and meet new people in an informal environment. The unique city discovery game involves team problem solving, navigation, and creativity. We will be playing “Bushranger’s Bash”, which is designed for locals, with a focus on The Rocks and Circular Quay area. After the game, we’ll gather at a bar in The Rocks to find out which team won the game, and for a well-deserved drink.
The 100 Point Challenge was founded by two Australians, Dan Paech and Anna Millan, who are based in Sweden. Dan is currently in Australia and will be in Sydney to lead the game and answer any questions afterwards. The company started in Stockholm in 2016 and has since expanded to Gothenburg, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, and most recently, Sydney. The 100 Point Challenge now has 22 people globally and has organised team events for some of the best known companies in the world, including Google, IKEA, Spotify and Booking.com.
Where to meet: The Beacon, First Fleet Park The Rocks, 2000 Sydney 
When: Thursday 5 Dec, at 5.30pm
Cost: SACC/YP Members $10, Non-Members: $20
Colleagues and friends all welcome!
