About This Event

First Thursdays heads to UNSW Paddington for its final 2026 gathering: a conversation with entrepreneur and sustainability strategist Ben Peacock on building ventures that consider people and planet.

What the conversation will cover

Ben will share perspectives on:

  • Turning creative ideas into businesses and movements
  • Using storytelling, branding and creativity to encourage behaviour change
  • Reinventing a business and continuing to build as circumstances change

There will also be time to ask questions and meet people working across art, design and creativity. Refreshments are provided.

Who it’s for

Designers, artists, storytellers, researchers, founders and others interested in using creativity to develop ideas and create change are invited.

Speaker background

Ben Peacock co-founded Republic of Everyone, a sustainability and creative agency, and Garage Sale Trail. He also hosts the Goodtrepreneur podcast.
