Sick of the same tired conversations?
Craving connection that cuts deeper than “So, what do you do?”
NEUROTICA is a gathering for deep thinkers and curious humans who want more than polite chatter and name-tag networking. This is your invitation to explore ideas that challenge, connect, and disrupt— over good food, cold bevs, and conversations that leave you oozing with insight.
This session’s theme is:
HUSTLE OR DIE
Work. Create. Collapse. Repeat. The nervous system on caffeine and comparison. A culture that confuses exhaustion with ambition and treats burnout like a badge of honour. In a world obsessed with optimisation, visibility and endless output, capitalism starts to feel less like an economic system and more like a personality disorder. This session interrogates the cult of productivity, the quiet panic of falling behind, and what happens to the human body and psyche when hustle becomes the only acceptable way to exist.
WHEN:
5-8pm
[Dinner from 6pm]
Wed 28 Oct, 2026
WHERE:
The Ace Hotel,
47-53 Wentworth Ave, Sydney NSW 2000
Each session brings together a mix of fascinating people to unpack unexpected, juicy topics over some tasty food. You’ll be guided by provocative prompts, mind-bending questions, and the kind of dialogue that sparks self-reflection, fresh perspectives, and maybe even cool new friendships.
