What's the Spring Conference?

Taking place on Thursday 22nd May, 8am - 3pm at Hardwick Hall Hotel, Sedgefield, County Durham, TS21 2EH, our reimagined Spring Conference promises to be a vibrant day that will energise, uplift and inspire our members like never before.

Step away from your business and immerse yourself in the North East’s largest gathering of entrepreneurs, for entrepreneurs. This year, we’re introducing exciting new activities that will spark fresh ideas, foster meaningful connections and help you reenergise and rekindle your passion for business.

This isn’t your typical business conference — it’s a game-changing day designed to supercharge your entrepreneurial journey and the perfect chance to step away from the everyday and reignite your passion for business. Think keynote entrepreneurial speakers, practical workshops, immersive experiences, and much, much more... 

A day pass for our conference costs £150 + VAT. But, by joining before 31st March, and paying in full with our annual membership, you'll receive a FREE day pass for this year's conference.


So what are you waiting for?
