Dig the Steve Jobs out of you workshop!!

If the 9-5 regimen is not your cup of tea, if you cannot imagine working for anyone but yourself, if taking calculated risks and venturing into uncharted territories gives you the kick, then this fun-filled interactive learning session on entrepreneurship is meant for you.

And if you tell us there's a Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Richard Branson, Marc Zuckerberg or Warren Buffet hiding between your flesh and bones, then you've got to be attending this workshop on March 9, 2012.

A first of its kind, this workshop has former KPMG, PWC and top professionals from other business advisory firms telling us how polytechnic students can build upon their own business concepts/final year projects and derive funding from the government, industry associations and venture capitalists. The workshop would also have CEOs from Singaporean SME firms sharing their stories of growth in the Asian markets and revealing how they acquired grants and funding for their companies to make them commercial successes.

Get to know in person how a British lady found Singapore to be the ideal place for her innovative social media strategies, how a young Swede interactive games developer was welcomed with open arms by the competitive markets of Singapore and finally, be up-close and personal and with a one-of-its kind American professional magician and illusionist whose unique sense of intuition and observation helped him carve a niche for himself in the domain of business. So Business, is indeed a sum total of killer instincts plus that lurking sixth sense!!

Hurry up and register for this this FREE fun-filled workshop that promises real-time android-based interactive entrepreneurial challenge games, close-up magic and entrepreneurial skills sharing session, all in a day's span. Lunch will be provided for all registrants.

If you are interested, please register at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dHdkanlxWjRlekdXejBQczhmbnI3T1E6MA before 7 March (Mon).
