Team Beardsley function at Vaporetto

November 4, 2025

Networking, Italian menus and sharp insights on Grand Final eve

A great night at Vaporetto as Team Beardsley brought clients together in Hawthorn to share good company, Italian food and a few quality bottles. On the eve of the Grand Final, guests enjoyed commentary and practical takeaways from leaders in their fields.
Jimmy Plunkett from Telos Leadership Consulting led with clear, actionable ideas on leadership and culture.
Jordan Lewis from Fox Footy shared Grand Final week insights and stories from the game.
Ed Beasley from Smith Feutrill Finance covered smarter ways to think about finance in a shifting market.

Food and wine
We ran a simple, flavour-first Italian spread. Think Venetian small plates to start, handmade pasta and shared mains, paced so the room could talk, take notes and top up glasses between courses. The wine service kept things relaxed and unhurried.
Why it worked

The format was tight, networking first, short talks with time for questions, then more mingling. Good sound, clear sightlines and a room that feels personal without being cramped. That balance is what makes professional events at Vaporetto feel easy.

Planning your own event

We host lunches, dinners and stand-up formats for client nights, team celebrations and launches. Pick a space that suits your numbers, choose sit-down, shared Italian or canapés, and we will handle service, timings and dietary notes.
