Going Further
with Elizabeth Varley
The QLD ecosystem is proud to be introducing Elizabeth Varley at River City Labs on Thursday 23rd of November as part of her visit to Australia! Proudly sponsored by Advance QLD, we are delighted to come together as a community to bring an event packed full of value for entrepreneurs looking to take their business overseas.
Elizabeth has an impressive career behind her including being a serial founder - most recently, was the founder & global CEO of TechHub and spent over a decade devoted to leading the charge in building London’s technology ecosystem to where it is today, along with catalysing startup communities across Europe, India and the US.
Hear directly from her as she shares her keynote on Internationalisation and insights into the UK ecosystem. She will be joined by experts from Trade & Investment QLD and Tribe Global Ventures as we sit down for an in-depth discussion and Q&A on global expansion and the UK, facilitated by our head of growth Laura Ashmole.
There will be plenty of opportunity for the audience to engage with Elizabeth and our panel throughout the discussion, followed by networking and morning tea.
