Hub Melbourne presents..

The Rise of Collaborative Consumption

‘There’s a movement growing. And it’s only just getting started…’

Rachel Botsman, an expert on the power of collaboration and co-author of What’s Mine is Yours: The Rise of Collaborative Consumption, is guest speaker at HUB Melbourne on Thursday, November 18. Rachel will share stories and research from around the world to illustrate the cultural and economic force known as Collaborative Consumption — organized sharing, bartering, lending, trading, renting, gifting, and swapping redefined through technology and peer communities. This is reinventing not just what we consume but how we consume.

Interactive Panel Discussion

Rachel will also moderate a panel featuring leading Collaborative Consumption pioneers who are building innovative businesses in this space.

• Steve Sammartino, Founder of Rentoid, Australia’s largest online hire and rental marketplace
• Daniel Noble, Founder of DriveMyCar Rentals, Australia’s first peer-to-peer car rental platform, connecting private car owners and drivers.
• Juliette Anich, Director of The Clothing Exchange, Australia’s leading social swapping network.

The panel will be highly interactive with the audience driving the Q&A session.

Pop Up Swap

To bring this concept to life, a Swap will be held following the panel discussion. So bring along up to 6 items of clothing, books, CDs or DVDs and be inspired by the possibilities of this emerging movement! These exchange events are a treasure trove of fabulous frocks, nice knits, slick suits, a colorful array of accessories, interesting books, classic CD’s and DVD.
