Focusing on how being brave and staying true to your beliefs can bring huge benefits to your company is the focus of our spring conference: Fortune Favours the Brave.

Attended by over 200 North East entrepreneurs, Fortune Favours the Brave is very much about getting under the skin of those who take chances and finding out what happens when you do – because it’s only when you step out of your comfort zone or are faced with a seemingly ‘make or break’ moment that you’re really tested.

Hosted by Forum favourite Alfie Joey, Fortune Favours the Brave is a day of inspiration, learning and making new connections.

During the day we'll hear their incredible stories but we've factored in plenty of time for networking over breakfast and lunch.

For more information on our speakers, and what you can expect on the day, please visit our Fortune Favours the Brave page.


The Small Print - Members are not permitted to invite existing entrepreneurial members from different businesses as their guests using the Early Bird ticket offer.
