fastBREAK is a monthly series of rapid-fire interactive talks hosted by non-profit youth organisation, Vibewire Youth Inc and the Powerhouse Museum.
Each month, five sharp young entrepreneurs from various industries tackle big questions with five-minute responses around themes of creativity, commercialisation, collaboration, connections and conversation. Then, over breakfast, participants are invited to share ideas and experiences in conversations with the five speakers. Innovation is the staple of the fastBREAK menu.
This is a unique opportunity for conversations outside the ordinary; for professionals from any industry to hear from emerging young entrepreneurs, and for young entrepreneurs to network with leaders from corporate and non-profit organisations.
The event costs $18, this covers breakfast. The venue is the Powerhouse Museum, 500 Harris St, Ultimo and is being held on Friday APRIL 30. Arrive from 7:45AM for an 8AM start. The talks should finish around 9AM.
