Building Connections at the TL-ABC Sunset Networking Drinks
On Thursday, 7 August 2025, the TL-ABC hosted our Sunset Networking Drinks at the Sail Bar, Palm Springs Hotel in Dili. Held on the evening of Day 1 of the Timor-Leste Australia Business Conference (TLAUCON2025), the event brought together conference delegates, business leaders, and members of the Timor-Leste–Australia business community for an evening of relaxed conversation and connection.
We were delighted that six of the conference’s speakers and panelists were already TL-ABC members, demonstrating the depth of expertise and engagement within our network.
The night would not have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors:
Australian Embassy
TradeInvest Timor-Leste
Austrade
Spirits of Timor, who served their signature caipirinha cocktail throughout the night
The atmosphere was vibrant, with new connections being made, ideas exchanged, and potential collaborations discussed well into the evening. It was a wonderful reminder of the value of bringing people together in person to strengthen business relationships.
Looking ahead, TL-ABC will be developing its advocacy agenda in the second half of 2025. This is a great time to get involved and ensure your voice is part of shaping the priorities for the Timor-Leste–Australia business community.
We offer membership options to suit businesses of all sizes, and we encourage everyone who attended to take the next step and join the TL-ABC. You can explore our membership categories here: View Membership Options
Let’s build on the momentum from TLAUCON2025 and the Sunset Networking Drinks to create lasting connections and drive meaningful outcomes for our members.
