Baloney Events is a tech-and-events organisation that grew out of a passion for the tech and creative communities in Melbourne. Founders Ben Dechrai and Rick Measham began with a vision for providing a safe space for practicing speaking in front of an audience. "The Art of Bullshit" has become a popular monthly event that combines public speaking with the fun of a game show. Now responsible for Melbourne's annual tech and creative end of year party, "Mixup Melbourne", the team continues to grow their community with a broad reach of around 5000 talented people across Victoria.
