Treading the path as an entrepreneur can be extremely challenging. However, a strong ecosystem of support from the entrepreneurship community around you can make the journey 10X easier and efficient. To foster such an environment, the Australian Entrepreneurs Alliance has been hosting the Annual EntrepreneurFEST for the last few years – back this week with the 3rd Annual All Virtual EntrepreneurFEST 2022.
The festival is designed to offer entrepreneurs a chance to learn about new opportunities and network with peers that could help them grow their businesses. It is also designed to give non-entrepreneurs exposure to the world of startups and small businesses. This can be an invaluable experience for anyone looking to get involved in this growing field.
Following are the list of sessions courtesy of Entrepreneur Facilitators from around the nation that you should join to gain the most out of the growing entrepreneurial network in the country:
