11th Entrepreneurship ConferenceTurbulent Times: How to Navigate through the Current Economy
Friday, 24 April 2009

The economy is taking us on another downward cycle. Businesses, both
large and small, are feeling the pressure of a changing world. But the
question lingers is this the right time? Where will the growth come
from? Where can I find the best people? Who can help me? Where are the
emerging opportunities?

Join us on Friday, 24 April 2009 and get
answers to these and other questions from entrepreneurs, venture
capitalists, angel investors, entrepreneurship-focused organizations
and members of London Business School faculty.
