1. SCALING IN AN UNCERTAIN WORLD
Doing business in uncertain conditions is something entrepreneurs must manage, but few challenges are insurmountable. We uncover the mindset and tactics entrepreneurs use for dealing with the global challenges of scaling business.
 
Irene Graham, CEO, Scale Up Institute
Will Butler-Adams, CEO, Brompton Bicycles
Julie Rogan, Head of High Growth Entrepreneurs, Barclays
Chris Baker-Brian, Co-founder & CTO, BBOXX
 
2. THE POWER OF TECH
Not every company is a tech company, but anyone looking to scale can’t ignore the power tech-enabled companies have to grow quickly and change the world. We talk to three individuals doing just that. 
 
Celia Francis, CEO, Rated People 
Helen Alex Lock, Tech journalist & editor (chair)
Chieu Cao, Co-founder, Perkbox 
Clemens Wangerin, MD, vTime
 
3. THE NEXT GENERATION OF TALENT 
We consider the leadership skills necessary to attract, retain and inspire the next generation of talent to realise the goals of the business, as well as individuals. 
 
Simon Coley, Co-founder, Karma Cola
Chieu Cao, Co-founder, Perkbox (chair)
Celia Francis, CEO, Rated People
Giles Andrew OBE, Founder, Zopa  
Lauren Armes, Founder, Welltodo
 
4. GOING GLOBAL 
Some ambitious entrepreneurs are hedging their bets by opening international offices to access talent, while others are looking for growth in new markets. This panel on International expansion to scale, chaired by The Supper Club’s EJ Packe, will bring together four scaling founders to share insights on how they chose their markets and models, with insights on how to succeed in Europe, US, Asia and the Middle East. 
 
Will Butler-Adams, CEO, Brompton Bicycles 
Diane Young, Founder, The Drum
Tamara Littleton, Founder, The Social Element
David Taylor, Managing Director, First Point Group
 
5. MISSION MATTERS
Purpose is about more than an auxiliary corporate social responsibility (CSR) function, it’s integral to the brand and culture of the company. We ask three social entrepreneurs why & how they built a brand that resonates so strongly with their customers, and how they’ve prioritised their mission while scaling.

The International Business Festival is the world’s biggest business Festival. Hosted every two years in its home city of Liverpool, the festival captures the dynamism and diversity of the global marketplace. The goal is to give businesses the space, support and expertise they need to make connections, do deals and realise their potential.
In 2016 the festival welcomed over 25,000 attendees from across the UK and around the world, putting on a schedule of inspiring events and facilitating an estimated £250 million worth of business deals.
The Festival is driven by a belief that, at its best, business is a force for positive change – propelling economic growth, providing opportunities for development and encouraging openness and cooperation. The Festival is a celebration of this belief.
