A Final Toast: The 20th Anniversary 'Wake' for the BBE Programme

Join us for a unique and memorable event as we gather to celebrate the two-decade legacy of the Business and Business Enterprise (BBE) Programme at the University of Buckingham.

This isn't just a farewell, it's a powerful reunion and a chance to reflect on the innovation, success, resilience and community the BBE programme created. If you were part of this incredible journey, this day is for you!

📍Venue: Enterprise Hub, Vinson Building (1st floor), University of Buckingham

Listen to distinguished professors including Professor Nigel Adams, Professor Phil Dover, who was instrumental in establishing the BBE programme in 2006 and the former Vice-Chancellor, Professor Terence Kealey who has been a huge supporter of entrepreneurship.

The day kicks off with a buffet lunch and transitions into the main talks and panel discussions, concluding with a drinks and buffet dinner at 6:00 PM.

More details, including the full, minute-by-minute agenda and speaker line-up will be shared with registered attendees in the coming weeks.
