EYP's Second Wednesday event: Are you an intrapreneur? April 9, 2008

This month, EYP has teamed up with Striding Out to offer our valued members not one, but two great events on 9 April.

For Part One of the evening’s events, we have assembled an all-star cast of business leaders to present their views on how to be a great entrepreneur within the workplace. If you desire to be entrepreneurial in the workplace and wish to know how to present and develop your ideas effectively to management, then this part is definitely for you. It will be held from 6pm to 8:30pm at the British Library and the cost will be £10 each.

We will then be holding a post-workshop event, Part Two, at the nearby, uber funky The Big Chill House. This will involve the usual fantastic networking opportunities and some special drinks deals. This will, as always, be free.

Here are the full details:
