Global Entrepreneurship Week 2011
14 - 18 November
Every year the Centre supports Global Entrepreneurship Week and 2011 is no different! Come and take part in the workshops and events throughout the week, whatever stage your business is at.
Running a business on your own can be challenging, but the right help can make all the difference. Having the correct information and building a successful network can accelerate success, help you avoid mistakes and make the experience a lot more enjoyable.
Global Entrepreneurship Week at the Centre will give you the opportunity to make the right connections for your business.
Speed mentoring
Each day we’ll be running informal half-day networking sessions. Talk to as many of our business experts and seasoned entrepreneurs as you can to get the advice you need for your business.
The themes for this year are:
Monday - Absolute Beginners
Tuesday - IP & Innovation
Wednesday - Women in Business
Thursday - Marketing Maestros
Friday - Make It, Sell It!
The sessions run from 10.00am – 13.00pm and 14.00pm – 17.00pm and are free. Book one half-day session here.
Keep checking the pages as we'll be adding more speed mentors nearer to the time.
