UBM plc today announces the unique and engaging programme of activity that will take place at the Business4Better UK event on 9-10 July at the National Hall, Olympia, London. The event consists of three education theatres that will feature over 100 speakers alongside over 150 not-for-profits exhibitors.
Business4Better UK is a unique forum where leaders from the corporate world and pioneers from within the voluntary and social enterprise sector share their experiences, debate critical issues, showcase successful partnerships and start conversations around creating meaningful collaborations.
Guest speakers include –
- Louise Jones, Category Manager at Innocent Drinks & Guardian Partner – iDE UK
- Karl Wilding, Head of Policy, Research & Foresight at The National Council for Voluntary Organisations
- Adam Elman, Head of Delivery, Plan A & Sustainable Business at Marks & Spencer
- Lord Hastings of Scarisbrick, CBE, Global Head of Corporate Citizenship, KPMG International
- Adele Blakebrough, MBE, Chief Executive, Social Business Trust (SBT)
- David Adair, Head of Community Affairs at PwC
- Tracy Griffin, Director of Fundraising at Shelter
The three education theatres will explain the “what is”, “how to”, “why” and “what next” of embarking on partnerships. The theatres will work alongside the Workshops Area and The Hub – spaces dedicated to facilitated networking, workshops, practical one to one advice and consultation. These will offer expertise on everything from measuring the impact of partnerships and exploring the unconventional partnership to practical clinics on digital marketing, HR and key legal issues.
The two-day event will also feature a vast range of workshops, seminars, immersive experiences and case-studies that will bring together experts, practitioners, thought-leaders and agents of change, offering inspiration, motivation and practical help to anyone seeking to create meaningful partnerships between the not-for-profit and commercial sectors.
A highlight of Business4Better UK will be the Centre Stage that will host performances and demonstrations of partnerships in action from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, National Youth Music Theatre, Streetwise Opera and The Funding Network Dragons’ Den.
UBM plc Chief Executive Officer, David Levin commented; “Business4Better UK will provide both business and the not-for-profit sectors with a full programme of activity that will educate people and demonstrate successful partnerships between the two. It’s an informative and exciting programme and I would encourage organisations to attend to see how they can benefit from this kind of partnership.”
Business4Better UK is free to attend for not-for-profits, social enterprises and business. The event is designed for anyone already thinking about the benefit of partnerships, or for those seeking advice and support before they take their first steps. Visitors will be able to explore how further to progress a partnership and have a chance to meet those ready to engage in conversation.
