Everyone has a view on innovation. Do you have a process behind yours?

Most long-term investors have an opinion on where the big growth is coming from. The harder part is turning that opinion into decisions.

What belongs at the core of your portfolio and what sits around it?

When does a theme deserve more of your attention, and when is it just noise?

Without a clear way to answer those questions, portfolios tend to get built one headline at a time, with choices that feel right in the moment but don’t add up to a plan.

That’s the gap this Boardroom is designed to close.

An intimate Boardroom experience with Craig Tapping

Positioning for the innovation bull cycle: top-down timing and stock selection

From story to process

You’ve heard Craig talk through the cycle on Academy calls. You’ve worked through the method in the course.

This is where you apply it to your own thinking.

Map the cycle yourself. Test which sectors should lead. Work out what a core-satellite structure could look like for a long-term portfolio, then screen for relative strength using the same charts, worksheets and checklists Craig uses. You’ll have direct access to Craig throughout the afternoon, with David and Jamie in the room alongside him.

And you’ll do it in a room with people who are serious about building a long-term portfolio with a real process behind it.

You’ll leave with a secular positioning framework, a repeatable top-down process and a working view of where the market sits, so the next decision you make in your portfolio starts from structure, not a hunch.

Together, we’ll explore:

The secular innovation backdrop across AI, robotics, clean energy and biotech
Which sectors and commodities sit at the centre of the cycle
How a longer-term portfolio can be structured using a core-satellite approach blending growth, defensive and income exposure
How to locate the economic cycle and identify which phase the market is in
How to map which sectors should lead, then confirm the rotation in the data
How to screen for stocks showing genuine relative strength
Applying it all to the current market with Craig’s cycle worksheet, phase identification matrix and stock-selection checklist

This session is for you if:

You’re making long-term investment decisions and want a clearer structure behind them
You understand the basics and want a more disciplined approach to economic cycles, sector rotation and stock selection
You have a view on the innovation cycle and want a process to test it against
You want to do your own research with confidence, not rely on stock tips

What the day looks like:

Your day begins at 11:30am with an intimate three-course lunch with Craig and our educators David Bird (ASX Trader) and Jamie Bell, plus the MtM team. From 2pm to 6pm, you’ll join a deliberately small group to work directly with Craig, with David and Jamie in the room throughout.

Then we’ll finish the day with networking drinks and nibbles from 6pm to connect and unwind.

Bring your laptop. Bring your charts. Bring your questions.

The story is everywhere. The process is yours to build.

One afternoon with Craig Tapping to step back from the noise, see the cycle from the top down and walk away with a process you can come back to. Places are strictly limited.

How is this different from Melbourne Live?

Melbourne Live is a full-day event covering diversification across MtM’s broader educator group. This boardroom session is a small, hands-on half-day with Tung Nguyen focused specifically on building your own FIRE plan.

What’s the difference between this event and your online courses?

This is a live, face-to-face experience led by MtM’s specialist educator Tung Nguyen. It’s hands-on, interactive, and gives you a real-world taste of how we teach — plus, you’ll meet the team and community in person.

I’m already an MtM student - should I attend?

Absolutely. This event is designed to help you consolidate your learning, ask live questions, connect with others, and gain a deeper understanding of the markets in a real-time setting.

I'm already retired. Should I attend?

This session is built for the accumulation journey rather than drawdown, so it’s better suited to those still working toward financial independence rather than those already there.

What is your cancellation and refund policy?

If you cancel more than 7 days before the event, you may receive a full refund (minus any applicable processing fees). Cancellations made within 7 days of the event are not eligible for a refund. If you don’t attend the event, no refund or credit will be issued.

You can view the full terms in our Event Terms & Conditions.

Will the event be recorded or live-streamed?
