If you've seen or been to a Parramatta meetup, like last year, you know that Parramatta is always the biggest one in Sydney. But I'm sure you guys know me — I only compete with myself, so this year the Parramatta event will be bigger than ever! Expect to see lots of new and returning OzBargainers as well as a ton of sponsors supporting us with discounts, prizes and giveaways (I might chip in some myself 😉).
We appreciate @scotty and OzBargain for sponsoring this event with a very generous amount for food, drinks, entertainment and 2024 OzBargain T-shirts for the big fans.
2024 OzBargain T-shirts Update
Note: If t-shirts arrive on time, not everyone is going to receive a free OzBargain T-shirt of their sizes — consider that as a bonus rather than entitlement.
Please read the how to attend section below carefully.
Thanks,
ISP
