Venues
Bars, hospitality groups and event spaces looking to build recurring traffic, activate quieter periods or host special events.
Partner With Linguas
Reach Melbourne's international community through experiences that bring people together.
Linguas works with venues, education providers, hostels, student organisations, community groups and brands to create events, activations and collaborations that connect people in the real world.
Established Melbourne community
Built around recurring in-person language exchange, social and community events.
Regular real-world attendance
Partnerships are built around people showing up, participating and meeting each other.
International audience
Locals, international students, travellers, migrants and professionals from diverse backgrounds.
Who We Work With
Partnerships should make sense for both communities.
We are most interested in collaborations where there is a clear reason for people to participate and a genuine benefit for both sides. That can be commercial, community-focused, educational, social — or a combination of all four.
Education Providers
English-language schools, colleges and education organisations looking for social opportunities for students outside the classroom.
Hostels & Accommodation
Hostels and accommodation providers wanting accessible social experiences for guests who are new to Melbourne.
Community Organisations
Groups and organisations with aligned communities that want to co-create events, campaigns or engagement opportunities.
Student Organisations
Clubs, societies and student groups that want to connect members with a broader Melbourne social and international community.
Brands & Platforms
Brands, apps and services with a genuine fit for our audience and a useful reason to be part of an event or collaboration.
Ways To Partner
Not every partnership needs to look the same.
We can build collaborations around an existing Linguas event, create something specific together, or develop an ongoing relationship when there is a strong fit.
Venue Partnerships
Host recurring or one-off Linguas events, activate venue space, build foot traffic and create a reason for new audiences to discover your venue.
Community Collaborations
Bring two communities together for a shared social, cultural or activity-led event, with both sides helping shape and promote the experience.
Student & Guest Engagement
Give students, travellers or new arrivals an easy pathway into Melbourne's social scene through selected Linguas events and collaborative activities.
Special Events
Work together on larger themed events, cultural nights, social activations, seasonal events or concepts designed around a particular audience.
Brand Activations
Introduce a relevant product, service or platform to our audience through an experience that adds value rather than interrupting the event.
Long-Term Partnerships
For organisations with strong alignment, we can explore ongoing event, community, referral or promotional relationships instead of a single campaign.
Why Linguas
More than a logo swap.
The strongest partnerships give people a reason to participate. Linguas combines an established event format, recurring attendance, digital reach and venue experience with a community that is actively looking to meet people and do things in Melbourne.
We are open to creative ideas, but we are selective about fit. If a partnership does not create a better experience for the people attending, it is probably not the right partnership for us.
Existing Community
Start with an audience that already understands the value of meeting people through shared experiences.
Event Infrastructure
Experience with event promotion, registrations, check-in, venue coordination and on-the-night operations.
Digital Distribution
Promotion can extend across Linguas social channels, event platforms and community channels when appropriate.
International Reach
A naturally diverse audience that includes people newly arriving in Melbourne alongside established locals.
Flexible Collaboration
From simple referrals and co-promotion to fully developed event concepts and recurring partnerships.
Built To Grow
Successful concepts can become recurring events or broader partnerships rather than ending after one night.
How It Works
Start with the opportunity, not a sponsorship package.
Tell us what your organisation is trying to achieve. We can then work out whether there is a natural way for Linguas to help — and whether we are the right fit for each other.
Step 1
Tell us about you
Who you are, what your organisation does, and the audience or community you are trying to reach.
Step 2
Define the goal
More foot traffic, student engagement, a community event, brand awareness, guest activities or something else entirely.
Step 3
Shape the collaboration
We identify the event format, responsibilities, promotion, timing and what success should look like for both sides.
Step 4
Make it happen
Launch the collaboration, run the event or activation, then review what worked and whether it should continue.
Want to run your own event instead?
If you're an individual with an event idea rather than an organisation looking for a partnership, our Host With Us pathway is designed for you.
Start A Conversation
Have an idea that could work with Linguas?
Tell us a little about your organisation, what you would like to achieve and what kind of collaboration you have in mind. It does not need to be fully formed — a good partnership can start with a simple idea.
