Inspiring Entrepreneurs: In the Den with the Dragons, Sheffield Town Hall – 19 November 2013

To celebrate Global Entrepreneurship Week 2013, we are bringing together a panel of formidable Dragons from the very first series to the latest. This special event will give you the chance to learn from our no-nonsense experts about what makes a winning pitch and how to scale up your business.

Find out how they’ve all risen from start-ups to stars in the business world and how you can apply their tried and tested techniques to your own business.

The panel discussion will be streamed live from the British Library in London, after you’ve heard from local entrepreneur James Boardwell from Folksy in Sheffield. Plus, you can put your questions to all speakers and network with other local businesses.
