The National Enterprise Innovation Conference

Small and medium- sized businesses, and entrepreneurs, usually get a raw deal with conferences as they are often aimed at the large corporate customers, with an equally large cost. The National Enterprise Innovation Conference, taking place on 27 June at Earls Court 2 has been specifically designed for SME owners, directors and entrepreneurs, and the one- day programme is dedicated to the needs of small and medium- sized businesses at an affordable price. With an international cast of inspirational speakers who will be offering their words of wisdom and experience designed to inspire and enhance business creativity, to help innovate and in the long run improve profitability. Experts include Tom Peters, who twentyñfour years after launching a management revolution with his No1 global bestseller ëIn Search of Excellenceí is still challenging audiences to re-evaluate their business.

His energy, style, influence and ideas continue to shape and inspire new management thinking across the globe. Bob Geldof will be enthusing audiences with stories of his business life, offering a rare opportunity to benefit from the experience and entrepreneurship of this exciting personality.

The Sunday Times Business Editor John Waples will be leading a ëSpeak to the expertsí panel session with panellists: Richard Duvall, founder of internet banking facility Egg and now creator of Zopa, a revolutionary new banking system. James Murray Wells, founder of Glasses Direct, Sal Pajwani of the global innovation company ?What if! and Peter Cullam of Towergate Underwriting Group, who has built the largest privately owned insurance intermediary in the UK.

A place at the conference also includes free entry to B2B London, the event for owners, directors and entrepreneurs running small and medium-sized businesses and will offers visitors access to ideas, information and inspiration to help them grow their profits or their bottom line.
