This is an event that anyone with an interest in success, entrepreneurship or excelling in a corporate environment should not miss!

Brad has only just returned to Australia after 15 years in the UK, so this is a great opportunity to be the first in Australia to tap into his expertise.

This event sparks the relaunch of the UNSW Entrepreneurship society and there will be food & drinks to celebrate! Will also be an opportunity to network with some of Sydney's leading young entrepreneurs.
