Matt Gooding, Cambridge News Business journalist, will be asking the questions in this series of early evening talks – a ‘fireside chat’ format which allows the audience to delve into the mind of an entrepreneur and find out what makes them tick, what drives them and what kind of person it takes to lead the crowd, to make change and lead innovation across the Region and beyond.
The series welcomes Barnaby Perks, IESO Digital Health on Thursday 29th June, followed by Martina King, Featurespace on Wednesday 5th July. Both events start at 6.15pm and are followed by networking and drinks.
These early evening talks held at the Allia Future Business Centre are FREE to attend but please register:
