London Enterprise Festival: Bringing Together the Business Leaders of Today and Tomorrow

London's first Enterprise Festival gathers more than 50 CEOs and senior executives – including Time Out's own esteemed leader Tim Arthur, who speaks in the Entertainment & Gaming session on Tue Mar 17. The aim is to provide a forum for developing and encouraging new talent.

The fortnight comprises nine evenings of speakers from specific industries (Communications, Education & Learning, Social Enterprise, Food & Beverage, Financial Services, Health & Wellbeing, Design & Fashion, Entertainment & Gaming, Marketplaces), followed by a round-up finale event that combines a panel discussion, idea clinics, food stalls, entertainment and plenty of networking opportunities.

Other guest speakers include the Big Issue's John Bird, Will Hobhouse, chairman of Heal's, and Jon Wright, the co-founder of Innocent, with Etsy, RBS and Microsoft among the companies involved. Even better, the profits from the Festival will be reinvested in local community and business initiatives.

Note: each evening session costs £52, except for the finale, which is free to attendees of any other session - or £18 as a stand-alone event.
