It was a fantastic day of presentations by experienced mentors, with lively open discussion about what it takes to make it in business.
We were thrilled with the turnout and we were also very excited by the pitches on the night. It is nerve-wracking to put yourself out there and you all did yourselves proud, so congratulations to:
