Posted: Wed 10th Jan 2024
This year marks the StartUp Show's 10th anniversary! Join us on Saturday, 27 January at King's College London and make 2024 your year!
StartUp Show 2024 boasts 13 business-related zones, over 100 expert speakers and networking opportunities galore with fellow or prospective business owners from every sector imaginable.
Looking back through the decade
Lorna Bladen, CMO of Enterprise Nation, who has participated in every one of these events over the years, reflects on the timeless start-up lessons shared by some of the UK's brightest entrepreneurial minds.
For instance, Melody Hossaini, star of the BBC's The Apprentice, predicted at StartUp Show 2015:
"Social enterprise will no longer be on the sidelines but at the heart of small business. Consumers are looking to buy into a narrative, a cause and a mission."
Melody's comment stands true to this day, with more people than ever starting a mission-led business. StartUp Show 2024 will have a dedicated Business with Purpose stage, featuring Rimi Thapar, co-founder and CEO of LoveRaw and Anna Brightman, co-founder of UpCircle.
Looking to 2024 and beyond
StartUp Show 2024 is the perfect place for inspiration, advice and gearing yourself up to finally launch that side hustle or bite the bullet and go full-time entrepreneur.
If you are a business owner, StartUp Show 2024 is a must-attend event, no matter how long you have been in the game.
Emma Meheux, Enterprise Nation adviser and regular show attendee, says:
"I am an Enterprise Nation adviser but I also run my own small business. So, for me, it's a great opportunity to meet people that I may be able to help through my business whilst at the same time picking up great tips and pieces of useful info from other specialists. I might also find suppliers I want to work with in the future."
When it comes to speakers we have quite the lineup across the 13 zones.
From Mark Dixon, one of Europe's best-known entrepreneurs to Rob Pierre of Jellyfish sharing his journey of starting, growing and selling a successful marketing agency and Chris Forbes of The Cheeky Panda planning an IPO, there is a talk for everyone.
The StartUp Show takes place in London on Saturday 27 January 2024. Buy your tickets today and hear from over 100 expert speakers.
