Welcome Receptionand Opening Ceremony

The Opening Ceremony will be held on 11 January

2016. Our previous speakers included representatives

from UQ Business School, Brisbane City Council, RiverCity Labs, Red Hat and was followed by Q&A.

Company Visits and Wor kshopsThere will be allocated times for students to visit

different Brisbane companies. These visits will give

delegates a brief look into local organization's working

facilities , as well as greater insight into company’s

culture and the Australian work environment. This is a

great opportunity for future international recruitment

and developing brand engagement on an international

scale.

Workshops will be held throughout the hackathon

competition where you will learn about start-ups and

practice professional skills that will not only help you

in our competition, but also contribute to your own

entrepreneurial development.

Startup Contest & Mentoring

Towards the end of the week, we culminate to

‘Act Now!’ with a Hackathon Contest. The contest is

an 18-hour event that actively involves students to

practice lean startup techniques and to create a viable

business model. Prominent entrepreneurs including

Ken Huxley will be teaching and mentoring students

about lean startups, marketing strategies, financial

planning, team building, legal advice and much more.

Our mentors will challenge students to think abstractly

and push their entrepreneurial skills to the next level.

Held over 3 days, it facilitates networking, efficient

learning and circulation of ideas. Domestic studentsare invited to these events, allowing collaboration

of different minds from various countries to create

feasible ideas for launch. 12 teams of 6 will battle for

the ultimate prize. The two finalist teams will pitch in

front of venture capitalists and entrepreneurs for the

chance to win the grand prize, yet to be revealed.

Sponsor Fair

We value our gratitude to our sponsors, and thus

we will host a one hour sponsor fair for our delegates

to attend. This sponsor fair allows you to network with

Brisbane and Australia’s most prominent companies

and support networks for career development and

entrepreneurship.

and professionals to form lasting relationships outside
