Why Visit DreamStart '08?
2,000 of Yorkshire’s business leaders alongside 1,000 Young Entrepreneurs will descend upon the Royal Armouries to discover survival and growth strategies, learn new skills, source the latest information, products and services and ultimately, grow and fulfil the potential of their business.
Delegates will have the opportunity to network with thousands of other business leaders and be educated in ways critical to business sustainability and growth - all under one roof, all in one day. The opportunities are immense.
DreamStart is all about your Profit. Period.
DreamStart is not just a one day episode; it will offer ongoing support and guidance for those who require it after the event. One example of this is the Pracademic Degree.
DreamStart is working with Huddersfield University to create the first ever Under Graduate Pracademic Degree where the student gets to create and run the perfect turn-key business model whilst studying for a degree, a BA (Hons) in Enterprise Development.
Other business support models are in development and will be announced when finalised.
The Exhibition Hall will showcase 78 business-to-business organisations and will be split into four zones: Business Support, Business Services, People/HR, Professional Services.
