New time and now free! https://startuptasmania.com/2013/02/event-change-new-time-and-now-free/ https://startuptasmania.com/2013/02/event-change-new-time-and-now-free/#comments Tue, 26 Feb 2013 05:06:33 +0000 Tim Polmear https://startuptasmania.com/?p=181913 This Thursday’s event on ‘Video and Animation” has changed venue, time and cost!

Startup Tas will now host guest speakers, Susanne Schantz and Matthew van Rooijen from Small Island Studio, at our next ‘Shots’ meet up next Thursday the 7th of March at Preachers instead of this Thursday at The Typewriter Factory.

Come, network with startup entrepreneurs, have a tasty beverage and get a free insight into how video and animation can be very effective marketing tools to convert consumers. What a night!

The video pitch experts will show you some clips, explain what works, what doesn’t as well as give you an idea into production costs and more. Bring along any questions you have, I’m sure they’ll be happy to help.

So what are you waiting for, rsvp today at meetup.com/StartupTasmania, get amongst the Tassie startup scene and be inspired to get off your butt and create the next big thing!

Robin’s passion for IP commercialisation and decades of experience shone as he enlightened us on patents, copyright, how to apply to protect your IP, the time involved, the available resources for funding and advice and much more. The audience of over 20 were left contemplating their own IP protection strategies after Robin’s conclusion: “Don’t give away your IP carelessly!”

Thanks again to Robin for a much needed education into the importance of IP protection and commercialisation.

Before and after Robin’s talk, plenty of new connections were made and hands shook while Startup Tas members (and non members) networked over a drink, delicious sushi and my personal favourite, Thai pineapple stacks, in The Typewriter Factory’s very atmospheric co-working loft. It was great to see so many new faces hungry for startups in Tasmania bounce projects and ideas off one another.

If you missed out, get excited because we have another speaker event lined up for later this month! (details to come).

Our next networking meetup is breakfast at Jam Jar in Battery Point on the 21st of Feb from 7:45am. Hope to see you all there!

Steve Jobs and Richard Branson didn’t find success by fluke, and they certainly didn’t do it on their own. Successful entrepreneurs up skill themselves by building both a powerful network and knowledge bank so that they have key resources and know-how on tap.

So take action today and make 2013 your year to get focused, stick your neck out and take some risk. Get involved, meet other entrepreneurial like-minded individuals and become inspired!

Come along to Startup Tasmania’s “Startup Series” event taking place 5:30pm next Monday at the Typewriter Factory. For this first event, we have guest speaker, Robin Fieldhouse, introducing us to the world of IP Commercialisation which is sure to be an important and insightful talk on how to secure and commercialise your business idea.

We’ve had to bring the RSVP date forward to 5:30pm this Friday for catering purposes so register your spot today and start your path to entrepreneurial success!

Details for the full list of “Startup Series” events will be announced on Monday at our first event for the year.
