The Deakin University MBA Alumni Chapter is excited to be hosting MBA Alumnus Joanne Plummer (Chaiman of Barwon Water and co-owner of Business in Heels) as a keynote speaker in a discussion on entrepreneurship. This will be followed by a panel discussion which will include Julia Van Der Sommen (founder of Sample Room).

With a chance to grill a panel of forward thinking entrepreneurs on their business acumen this is a great opportunity for you to learn and develop.

The program includes an opportunity to pitch for up to $20 000 funding, mentorship and office space as well as a series of entrepreneurial events, focusing on educating and training aspirant entrepreneurs regarding how to approach a project from a commercial perspective.
