Business4Better UK is a unique forum where leaders from the corporate world and pioneers from within the voluntary and social enterprise sector share their experiences, debate critical issues, showcase successful partnerships and start conversations around creating meaningful collaborations.
Guest speakers include -
The three education theatres will explain the "what is", "how to", "why" and "what next" of embarking on partnerships. The theatres will work alongside the Workshops Area and The Hub - spaces dedicated to facilitated networking, workshops, practical one to one advice and consultation. These will offer expertise on everything from measuring the impact of partnerships and exploring the unconventional partnership to practical clinics on digital marketing, HR and key legal issues.
The two-day event will also feature a vast range of workshops, seminars, immersive experiences and case-studies that will bring together experts, practitioners, thought-leaders and agents of change, offering inspiration, motivation and practical help to anyone seeking to create meaningful partnerships between the not-for-profit and commercial sectors.
A highlight of Business4Better UK will be the Centre Stage that will host performances and demonstrations of partnerships in action from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, National Youth Music Theatre, Streetwise Opera and The Funding Network Dragons' Den.
UBM plc Chief Executive Officer, David Levin commented; "Business4Better UK will provide both business and the not-for-profit sectors with a full programme of activity that will educate people and demonstrate successful partnerships between the two. It's an informative and exciting programme and I would encourage organisations to attend to see how they can benefit from this kind of partnership."
Business4Better UK is free to attend for not-for-profits, social enterprises and business. The event is designed for anyone already thinking about the benefit of partnerships, or for those seeking advice and support before they take their first steps. Visitors will be able to explore how further to progress a partnership and have a chance to meet those ready to engage in conversation.
