Idea Creation Weekender

Hosted by Essex Startups

Want to be your own boss, but unsure how to get there? If so, our Idea Creation Weekender is just what you need!

This engaging two-day weekender explores business idea creation techniques, creative thinking, and team working – all designed to help you get started in business.

Over the two days, our team will take you through a variety of techniques to aid creative thinking and idea generation. You will experience first-hand the benefits of team working and how gaining a greater understanding your customers can help to refine and prioritise ideas.

With fun and practical activities, we will test your ideas and consider how you can add value to other people’s lives through your business.

This is a two-day event. By signing up you will be expected to attend for the entire event. During the event you will be assigned tasks in small groups, so if you are not able to attend for the duration it causes disruption to teamworking and impacts the overall experience of others.

This face-to-face event will be held in the Innovation Centre. Spaces are limited, so don’t miss out and book your place!
