Why can Enterprise Nation claim to be the UK's most active small business community? Maybe because we host over 500 events with over 30,000 attendees each year.
From small business meet-ups around the country to daily webinars, panels and conferences, we have created a lively programme to connect business owners and give them the knowledge to feel empowered to grow.
Our speakers come from far and wide but most share one thing in common, they are part of our community. With over 100,000 small business and adviser members, it's not hard for us to source brilliant expertise.
We reserve the majority of opportunities for adviser members as this is an exclusive membership benefit. Become an adviser member today to access opportunities to be a future speaker.
Find out more about our future opportunities below and how we select speakers.
Enterprise Nation hosts daily lunchtime webinar interviews that offer bite-sized learning.
Enjoy snackable insights (sorry, more food puns) in all areas of starting and growing a business from making the switch to an entrepreneur to managing your social media or finances.
These webinars attract audiences between 100 to 400 made up of pre-start-ups to established small businesses and professional consultants.
Past speakers have told us that these sessions helped generate new clients, increase brand awareness, and convert into useful content for blogs and marketing collateral.
Here is what listeners have to say about Lunch and Learn sessions:
"If you haven't logged into one of the Enterprise Nation webinars, just take 30 minutes and breathe in knowledge, positivity and learn new things." - Andy
"In the many moments I doubt myself there's always something in them that picks me up and boots me up the backside to keep going!" - Sarah
"One of the greatest things to have come out of the lockdown so far, for me, is the discovery of Enterprise Nation and the excellent Lunch and Learn series." - Emma
If this all sounds great and you'd love to get involved, you must be an adviser member.
You can then submit an idea to our team using the submission form through your dashboard, under 'Adviser opportunities' and 'Lunch and Learn'.
We ask for a few bullet points to let viewers know what they will learn from your session. We highly suggest tuning in to a past session to get a feel for the format.
But don't worry, our team will work with you to help craft a winning description that will attract the crowds.
Our team books speakers at least a month in advance. We try to accommodate as many requests from our adviser members as possible, which is why you are limited to hosting one webinar every six months.
You may be invited to speak at other opportunities throughout the year by our events team.
