There are a couple of events coming up that some of you might be interested in. Details below:
—
THE HIVE - SYDNEY
Date: August 18th (yes. this Tuesday!)
Location: The Burdekin Bar, Darlinghurst
Cost: Free
Summary
While not necessarily a tech focused event, The Hive team has been doing great things in trying to get entrepreneurs together, first of all in Melbourne, then Brisbane and now, with the help of Matt Jones, in Sydney.
Why you should go
Business is business, right? So why limit your entrpreneurial knowledge gathering to purely tech events? The Hive has a great following in Melbourne and Brisbane, so they must be doing something right.

ANZATECH - 2009 GATEWAY FOCUS WORKSHOPS:
Date: 24-28 August
Location: Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney
Cost: US$495 (a bit odd, i know, seeing as we’re in Australia)
Summary
The Gateway Focus Workshops are the first step in ANZAtech’s Gateway to the US program, which aims to help Aussie startups successfully make the move into the US.
Why you should go
I know a few startups that have been through the program and they all have good things to say about it. Also, ANZAtech founder Viki Forrest works tirelessly to help Aussie startups do well in the US, so it’s a good chance to meet her in person.

TECH23
Date: 27 October
Location: Sydney
Cost: $250 + GST; $150 + GST (Special rate for Entrepreneurs, Members of ATS, ANZATech, AIMIA)
Summary
23 startups will be invited to do a four minute pitch to a panel of experienced entrepreneurs and investors.
Why you should go
That panel is a who’s who of the Aussie tech startup and investment scene (I’ll let you check out the names on the event site), so should be a good day
