Thank you for joining us today for a day packed with inspiration, advice, insights and connections.

Theory is, gather a whole load of smart people in one place at one time, add in multiple mindspa stimulations – and great things can happen. We can all learn.

Want to know how the seismic disruption of AI will create legions of opportunities for entrepreneurs? Make sure you’re here for Nigel Toon, founder of one of the region’s Unicorn companies and AI specialist, Graphcore.

How about transforming a long-term business through entrepreneurial drive and vision? Listen to Zillah Byng-Thorne talking about Future (and so much more).

Both Keynotes unmissable.

Or funding, B Corps, collaboration, maintaining founding zeal, funding, greater equality, the female entrepreneur gap (and how to start closing it), selling a dream via a piece of paper, narrative arc of entrepreneurs – tons of stu today about New Business thinking, basically.

Oh, and the unveiling the finalists for the inaugural EntreConf Awards.

New ideas in profusion. New ways of working, new ways of seeing the world, of working, of running companies, of working with partners. New products and services.

Entrepreneurialism is a state of mind. You can’t outsource entrepreneurialism. Entrepreneurs have unique experiences and singular needs for advice. Entrepreneurs see the world di erently – and create new worlds.

Anyone and any business can benefit from entrepreneurial thinking. All of us have been having to think more entrepreneurially.

And that is the world of EntreConf

.

The future is unwritten…

EntreConf provides stimulation, inspiration, practical support
