The culmination of our Social Enterprise Matters project, our Showcase Event will be a day of celebrating all things social enterprise.

The Social Enterprise Showcase Event is an exciting day of stalls, talks and networking. With advice on funding and starting up a social enterprise, inspiration from successful social entrepreneurs, and a market place for social enterprises, the Showcase Event will bring together people from Staffordshire and beyond who are involved in making social enterprises happen.

Whether you run a social enterprise and are looking to promote your business and make new connections, or want to pop along to the marketplace for some unique shopping, the Showcase Event is open to all.

We'll be updating this page regularly with more information, including details of talks and workshops, as details are confirmed.

Social Enterprise Matters is a joint project between Staffordshire University, VAST, Staffordshire University Students' Union, and other partners, working together to support social entrepreneurs to develop sustainable enterprises. You can find out more about Social Enterprise Matters on the Creative Communities Unit website: http://blogs.staffs.ac.uk/ccu/current-research-and-projects/social-enterprise/social-enterprise-matters/

You can either book your free place as a Stallholder if you wish to sell your products or showcase your services; otherwise please select General Admission. Stallholders are welcome to enjoy the interactive workshops and networking throughout the day.
