Tech North

<H3>Forget what you know about startup events</H3>
What value do you really get from sitting in a room and listening to people talk about themselves?
At <A HREF="https://technorthhq.com/programmes/founders-network/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Founders’ Network</A> we believe in putting on events that centre around you, the founder. That’s why the Founders’ Network Summit in Sheffield on 18th January has been designed with your business in mind.
A day long event, you’ll leave the summit with a 90-day action plan which you can implement immediately. No longer does a day out of the office mean a loss of productivity. You’ll have access to recruitment, PR, innovation and sales and marketing masterclasses throughout the day and hear from top speakers along the way, who’ll be giving you the inside track on how they tackled their biggest challenges.
Hear from our Northern Stars companies about how they built and grew their businesses, how they overcame their mistakes and what they would have done differently. Its your opportunity to learn from some of the best growing companies in the North and will include a Q&A from the audience.
The ticket price includes coffee and pastries on arrival, lunch and refreshments throughout the day.
