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 help with creative thinking and idea generation, as well as allowing you to experience first-hand the benefits of team working and understanding your target market by using personas and exploring the customer journey.

With fun and practical activities, as well as a unique Innovation Challenge examining adaptability and how to deal with uncertainly, we will test your ideas and consider how you can add value to other people’s lives through your business.

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