Ever wondered what goes into starting a business? Wish you could learn more about business startups? Want to learn some more skills and develop yourself professionally? Then this newly formatted event it is for you!
In a little over 24 hours you’ll go from idea to pitching a business concept to a panel of judges. You’ll learn about creating a Lean Canvas, validating your idea (will people actually pay for it?!?), creating high level financial accounts, creating a brand, writing a business road map, and pitching to possible investors.
Whether you are looking for a change in your professional life, or you’re a happy employee and want to learn some new skills to extend yourself professionally, then this event is for you. There is no obligation at the end to continue your business – you can take the skills you’ve acquired back to your current roll or forward into a new business in your area of expertise.
Tickets are limited, and we have an early bird price until 31 March, so get in quick!
