1. This year our team, some presidents of societies we support and 20 King’s entrepreneurs were among the people from King’s community who were invited to the annual Queen’s Garden Party at Buckingham Palace.

2. As a culmination of their year-long work, King’s20 entrepreneurs had the opportunity to pitch their ventures to over 100 UK investors in Bush House. The entrepreneurs, mentors and guests then enjoyed a summer party on Bush House Terrace.

3. Women in Tech. In November 2017, four presidents of societies, some of our team and a King’s20 venture attended Web Summit 2017. We were fortunate to hear a keynote from Professor Stephen Hawking CBE, who spoke of the challenges and opportunities facing us. The biggest being the advent and impact of AI on society.
