WES 2009 Goodenough College, 20th March 2009 (www.wes08.net)
Following on from the success of the World Entrepreneur Summit in January 2008, we are organising another World Entrepreneur Summit on March 20th 2009. This is a one-day event focused on addressing some of the key issues that are keeping the world's entrepreneurs awake at night in the current climate. This might be access to finance, access to mentoring and coaching, managing the business as it grows, managing cashflow and profitability as the climate tightens or managing people through uncertain times.
As always, our focus is on promoting the role that entrepreneurs play in stimulating sustainable economic development. At no time in recent economic history has the entrepreneur been more important in helping the world address the economic, social and environmental challenges that it faces. From the smallest social enterprise in sub-Saharan Africa through to global corporations, entrepreneurs are the world's change agents and will enable us to pull through.
This inspiring and international event will put entrepreneurs of all types together with investors, business support professionals and agencies, large and small companies, coaches, mentors and policy and academic experts with a view to accessing the financial and network support that will provide entrepreneurs with platforms to change the world. Additionally we will be
