Industry Networking event with visiting Japanese students

Join AJS-NSW members and friends and visiting students from Japan at an Industry Networking evening, again hosted by Western Sydney University's Launch Pad.

The speakers for this informal evening are members of the AJS-NSW Board. Terry Crotty will speak briefly about corporate entrepreneurship in Australia, while Max Yatsuzuka and Emily Yamanishi will outline the careers that they have built on their Australia-Japan bicultural and bilingual backgrounds. Then we will throw open to an Q&A session.

The event is free to attend and will be followed by networking over drinks and light food.

The Japanese students from Kansai International University are visiting WSU to participate in an entrepreneurship program called the Venture Makers Global Exchange Program.

This event is targeted towards students (of any school or university) and young professionals but anyone is welcome to attend.
