Brewing Bold Conversations at Intersekt 2025

We are excited to announce our participation in Intersekt 2025, Australia’s premier fintech festival. The event will bring together the industry’s brightest minds to share ideas, shape innovation, and drive the future of financial technology.

This year, our CEO, Shamus Hodgson, will feature on a high-profile panel discussion titled “Building a Sufficient Runway before Liftoff: Securing Funding in 2025.” Shamus will join fellow leaders to explore critical funding strategies, offering insights on how fintechs can secure the right resources to scale successfully in today’s dynamic environment. For founders, investors, and innovators, this promises to be a discussion not to be missed.

And because every great idea begins with a great cup of coffee, Zai, once again, is also the coffee cart sponsor for this year’s festivities. It is our way of fueling meaningful connections and helping spark the conversations that matter most.

Purchase your tickets here and join us in Melbourne on 17–18 September 2025 at the Grand Hyatt for two days of bold conversations and fresh insights.

At Zai, we believe innovation happens when ideas and people come together. That is why we are proud and grateful to be brewing bold conversations at Intersekt 2025, reconnecting with familiar faces, meeting new ones, and sparking meaningful dialogue from the stage, over a cup of coffee, and everywhere in between.

We look forward to seeing you there!
