SIMposium - I'm an entrepreneur - get me into there!
Annual conference with speakers on a theme - this year Entrepreneurship
This year's SIMposium was on the subject of Entrepreneurship, as the title above demonstrates.
To an audience of some 40 people, including Apprentices, Scholars, Freemen and Liverymen a number of speakers, including Senior Warden of the Guild of Entrepreneurs and Executive Director of the Institute of Innovation and Entrepreneurship covered many aspects of this important subject.
Topics covered included what it takes to start one's own business, and a number of the technical aspects including Intellectual Property, Business Plans, and Exit Strategies. The day also included several case histories of successful start ups, including two from our own members, Freeman Ruth Amos and Freeman James Popper.
Feedback from members of the audience, after the event, was very positive, from young and old!
There was plenty of time allowed for members and guest speakers to interact throughout the day and we can also report, of two potentially new business relationships formed amongst members present!
A copy of most of the presentations can be found below.

"Being a member of a City Livery Company makes you a part of a long tradition of philanthropy, charity and pageantry. While part of this is the enjoyment of formal dining in our own hall or in the fantastic and historic Livery Halls of other Liveries in the City of London, our Livery has a unique involvement in the promotion of science and engineering in the City and with Government. As a professional engineer, being a member of the Livery is an important part of my responsibility to my profession and the wellbeing of the country."
