Victoria's largest small-business festival coming up in August

Business Victoria is running the largest ever small business festival in Victoria this August. 'Energise Enterprise' will comprise over 400 individual events focussing on helping businesses thrive in tough times.

Highlights include:

• The Marketing in Difficult Times roadshow visiting eight regional Victorian centres to workshop techniques for success with local small business owners and operators.
• Hypothetical in the City sees small business expert and media personality David Koch and an expert panel identifying opportunities to take your business from gloom to boom.
• Entrepreneurs Using Social Networking to Market their Business discusses the benefits of marketing your business using social media platforms such as LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter.

There are a number of events being run in Geelong and region, but the Energise Enterprise website doesn't allow me to link to that page (important functionality but there you are). Instead, you can follow this link, click 'map' on the left and click the Geelong and South West Victoria region.
