Cafe Nautique

Sound Events

On the last Wednesday of each month (April-November),
Cafe Nautique brings a local speaker into an actual cafe to tell their story.

The event is FREE but we do encourage you to buy something to eat and drink in support of our generous hosts.

Our guest speaks for 15-20 minutes without props, visuals or handouts. This makes the evening more of a conversation than a presentation or a lecture.

We then take a break to top up glasses and refill plates.

Then it's back for questions, where the story might expand or head off in a whole new direction.

At the end of the event, we will all have learnt something more about where we live and the people with whom we share this part of the world.

Through serious health struggles Amy has refocused. Her personal and business lessons along the way will be a big part of this story.
