Entrepreneurs Week '08
Marketing Manager
August 2008
A week of guest speakers, panel discussions and a competition at the University of Melbourne. 2008 was the first Entrepreneurs Week; it has since been run every year. As Marketing Manager, I designed the posters and flyers, and to attract publicity, set up a "wall of change" on campus where students would write on a wall how they want to change the world!
