1st International Convention on Enterprise Promotion will be held in Harrogate International Centre in Yorkshire on 15-17 November 2009. The event will showcase best practice and innovation in the creation and support of small businesses world-wide.
The current economic crisis has highlighted the importance of creating many more small businesses with a sound financial foundation, proper management controls and strong support services. This Convention will bring together the many organisations in the UK and internationally that specialise in helping individuals to start their own businesses and guiding them through the initial phase.
Sponsored by the UK Government’s Trade & Investment organisation and supported by the Queen’s Awards Office and recent recipients of the Queen’s Award for Enterprise Promotion, over 500 delegates from around the world are expected to take part in the deliberations. Leading international figures are expected from enterprise education and training, from business support agencies and from government SME policy-makers. This new Convention will be an opportunity for exchange of views and learning best practices in enterprise promotion.
The Convention is being organised by Perlex Associates, headed by its Principal Partner Brian Dunsby, a recipient of The Queen’s Award for Enterprise Promotion in 2008. Perlex have been organising national and international Conferences on small business and entrepreneurship since 1991. Their most recent event in Belfast attracted almost 1,000 delegates from over 70 countries for the International Small Business Congress in conjunction with the Institute for Small Business & Entrepreneurship Annual Conference.
