If you’ve got an idea, Global Entrepreneurship Week is for you!
Global Entrepreneurship Week at the British Library 16-20 November 2009.
An event which we recommend if you are thinking of starting out, getting bigger and better if you are already up and running, and find out how to grow if you have been trading for years.
Most of the events are free, or at a small cost for an event of this type. The programme is as follows:
- Monday – Business basics day – Starting from scratch, with the essential business topics that you’ll need to understand to get going in business.
- Tuesday – Innovation day – Learn how to make the most of your ideas. Culminating with a keynote by Lord Sugar.
- Wednesday – Womens Enterprise Day – Meet a whole host of female entrepreneurs, who are just getting started to big names.
- Thursday – Social enterprise day – The way of doing business that makes a positive social or environmental change. Find out the steps to make your business more ethical.
- Friday – Home enterprise day – Taking advantage of the flexibility home working brings. Learn some top tips, and what it takes to make it. There will also be a free online seminar for this during the week of the event.
If you cannot make it, the main keynotes will be webcast at British Library and HSBC Inspiring Entrepreneurs Webcasts. So even if some events are sold out, you can still gain valuable insight and knowledge from the experts.
