Female Entrepreneurs Breakfast
Marita Cheng:
We are starting a female entrepreneurs breakfast so that females can get together and network, talk about what we’re doing, encourage more females to be entrepreneurs, and celebrate how amazing we are!
Please invite all your female entrepreneur friends, so that the first breakfast is awesome.
… founded because I realised I didn’t know many female entrepreneurs!

Entrepreneurs Week 2009
What is Entrepreneurs Week?
Entrepreneurship is the practice of starting new businesses or organizations, generally in response to identified opportunities or problems.
Entrepreneurs Week is an initiative of Student Entrepreneurs, a student-run organisation based at the University of Melbourne, in partnership with other organisations committed to promoting entrepreneurship and innovation on university campuses around Melbourne.
Kicking off with the Opening Ceremony on Friday 7 August, the events include presentations by prestigious speakers, panel discussions, workshops, mini-competitions and the signature event of the week, the Innovators’ Challenge in which teams are asked to create as much “value” as possible from an assigned everyday object and implement it in only six days.
For all details see

The events are also in the Startup Melbourne Event Calendar which you can import to iCal compatible systems via this file. You can also get only the E Week events here: e-week.ics
