The Australian eChallenge Venture Showcase was held on Wednesday 28th of August in Bonython Hall. The stunning hall had a festive air with the band JC Jazz playing and the 28 semi-finalist teams eager for questions and comments as they showcased their concepts.

The teams reported that the feedback they received helped crystallise their ideas and allowed them to refine their pitch about their concept. They also found that they were able to test the market and gauge interest in their concept.
