How to host and deliver a successful event online
In this Lunch and Learn, Enterprise Nation founder Emma Jones shares the story of how Enterprise Nation pivoted the business to deliver events online.
Emma lays out the key considerations involved in hosting events using online platforms such as Zoom, Google Meet and Teams, and gives her top tips for planning a successful and engaging virtual event.
Following a degree in Law and Japanese, Emma joined international accounting firm Arthur Andersen, where she worked in London, Leeds and Manchester offices and set up the firm's Inward Investment practice that attracted overseas companies to locate in the UK.
In 2000, bitten by the dot.com bug, Emma left the firm to start her first business, Techlocate.
After 15 months, the company was successfully sold to Tenon plc. The experience of starting, growing and selling a business from a home base gave Emma the idea for Enterprise Nation which was launched in 2006 as the home business website. The company has since expanded to become a small business membership community of over 75,000 people who benefit from events and support: online and in person. Enterprise Nation also presents a campaigning voice to government and the media on behalf of its members.
In 2021, Emma was awarded a CBE for services to small businesses and entrepreneurs.
