Where / When?
- Kings Place, London, Friday 15th May 2009, 10am - 6pm
plus party 6.30pm - 10pm, The Hub, Kings Cross.
- Carry on the conversation: The Hub Kings Cross, Saturday 16th May, 11am - 6pm SHINE is the unconference for Social Entrepreneurs, taking social ideas into action.
It's two days for you to come together with other social entrepreneurs: form practical collaborations, develop and pitch your ideas and debate the future of social enterprise.
This is your event. The unconference format is peer-created, many to many, pick and mix and a knowledge-ecology. That means:
* You generate content and we offer you the platform
* Choose what you go to
* Don't just listen - speak out, have a conversation
* Network with social entrepreneurs at all stages of business
What can you expect?
SHINE09 offers three key threads of content:
* Inspiration : The stories of those who've cut the path. Talk to each other about your ideas, successes and failures and be inspired.
* Context : How is the field of social enterprise developing? What is shaping the context in which you operate? What are the barriers and what are the accelerators?
* Practical Help : a mini business school with high-value sessions contributed from our best Management Consultancies and Business Support Agencies.
There will be direct links to funders and investors and the chance to pitch live. See more for session content on the panel to the right.
