Our web-inspired Inspiring Entrepreneurs event, ‘The power of social media’ brings together four successful entrepreneurs who have built their success around social media. Our speakers will discuss how they use social media to engage directly with their customers, build their brand inexpensively and make a larger profit.

The event will be broadcast via live webcast, in partnership with Unique Media TV, and the online audience will be able to pose questions to the panel via the web. A live blog will also cover the event and you can discuss the evening on Twitter using our hashtag, #bipcsocial.

Online resources

Our wealth of online resources can help you develop your business and meet like-minded entrepreneurs. You can download guides that show you the best sources of industry-specific, and general, information; view our Business Essential Wiki for details of useful business websites; and read our blogs to hear from two of the Centre’s insiders.

Our social media communities on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube, give us the opportunity to meet entrepreneurs and small business-owners online and provide information about how we can help. The communities also give entrepreneurs the chance to help and connect with eachother, creating excellent networks and links.
