What Is Sydney Entrepreneur Social ?
Sydney Entrepreneur Social is a monthly social event for entrepreneurs in Sydney. Each month we invite social entrepreneurs & change makers to feature as our guest speakers to share their stories, impacts and learnings directly to you in a short powerful "TEDx-style" presentation with an audience Q&A afterwards. Before and after the talks you get to network in a relaxed social environment with other change makers & entrepreneurs bringing you the best knowledge, networks & opportunities.
Why do we exist ?
