Short answer — go to Australia’s founder↔investor meetups and the major private-markets / tech conferences that attract Australian VCs, and combine those with targeted warm intros. Top places to meet Australian venture capital investors:

High‑value Australia events (best if you can travel to Australia)

• InvestFest (Gold Coast) — founder↔VC matchmaking with one‑on‑one investor meetings and investor social events. (cohortspace.com.au)
• Venture & Capital — large investment conference with curated investor attendance in Sydney (and regional editions). Good for meeting institutional VCs, family offices and wealth managers. (ventureandcapital.com)
• AVCJ Private Equity & Venture Forum (Australia & NZ) — premier private-markets forum attended by many LPs, PE and VC decision‑makers. (community.ionanalytics.com)
• Spark / local “investor panels” and regional hub meetups (e.g., Spark Festival investor sessions, Cremorne Connect) — smaller, highly targeted investor panels and after‑parties where local VCs show up. Good for relationship building. (events.humanitix.com)

International conferences where Australian VCs often attend (good if you’re based in the U.S.)

• Major global tech/investor conferences (Web Summit / Collision, Slush, TechCrunch Disrupt / TC Sessions, SXSW, SaaStr, and some industry summits). Australian funds and angels frequently send partners to these events; check attendee lists and pre‑event apps to find Aussie VCs.

Practical approach and tactics (for a U.S.-based founder or connector)

1. Target the right events: pick 2–3 that fit your stage/sector (founder matchmaking events for early stage; AVCJ/Venture & Capital for growth / institutional conversations). Use the event’s investor lists to preselect funds. (cohortspace.com.au)
2. Book meetings before you travel: use event matchmaking tools or the event team to schedule 1:1s — InvestFest and many conferences offer curated one‑on‑one sessions. (cohortspace.com.au)
3. Warm introductions beat cold outreach: ask mutual founders, alumni, advisors, or LinkedIn connections for intros to specific partners at Australian funds. If you don’t have warm leads, reach out to local accelerator alumni or angel groups with Aussie ties.
4. Focus your materials: have a one‑page investor memo, 2‑minute pitch, and concise follow‑up pack ready (cap table summary, traction metrics, and ask).
5. Leverage side events and socials: investor brunches, after‑parties and industry meetups are where real conversations (and followups) happen. Events marketed as “founder ↔ investor” are especially effective. (cohortspace.com.au)
6. Follow up fast and specifically: within 24–48 hours send a tailored note, next steps, and calendar links for a deeper call.

How to find which Australian VCs will attend an event

• Check event websites for “speakers” / “investors” lists and the event app. Where lists aren’t public, email the event organiser and ask for the investor attendee breakdown. (ventureandcapital.com)

If you want, I can:

• Pull the next dates and investor lists for 3–5 specific events you’re interested in (I’ll check the latest schedules/attendee lists).
• Draft a cold outreach / follow‑up template tailored to Australian VCs.
