Tea rave is coming to TO2026 🍵

As part of Festival Week with TO2026, HEX is bringing together Melbourne’s creative thinkers, builders, designers, operators and curious minds for an evening designed a little differently.

Good tea. Good music. Good people.

Tea rave sits somewhere between a social gathering, creative recharge, and community experience - a space to step outside the day-to-day, meet people outside your usual circles, and connect through culture, conversation and shared curiosity.

And because this happens the evening before TO2026 officially kicks off, it’s also an opportunity to get a glimpse of who’ll be in the room with you the next day.

Start conversations over tea instead of business cards. Connect in a setting that feels a little more human - before schedules, sessions, and calendars take over.

Expect thoughtfully curated non-alcoholic drinks, music and atmosphere! No forced networking.

Come for the tea.
Stay for the people.
Walk into TO2026 already knowing a few familiar faces.
