Info: Start your day with a clear-eyed view of the UK economy - from inflation and investment to labour markets and trade. This session delivers expert and timely insight, space for questions and the context you need to stay ahead.

Info: Those are facilitated conversations on the issues that matter most to growing businesses. Come ready to ask questions - these sessions are as valuable as what you bring to them.

Info: Kingston University students pitch their business ideas in a Dragon's Den-style format. But it isn't just a showcase - it's a two-way exchange. You'll bring your expertise and real-world experience to the room, and in return you'll gain a genuinely fresh perspective. Come ready to engage. You might be surprised by what you take away.

Info: The premise is simple: every person in the room has solved a problem, navigated a challenge, or discovered something that someone else at their table desperately needs to hear. The Peer Learning Lunch creates the conditions for that exchange to happen - structured, facilitated, and genuinely useful.
