IEEC 2019 – Oxford

IEEC2019, Enterprise Educators UK’s annual conference, will be in Oxford 4th – 6th September 2019 – save those dates!

Join us in Oxford at the leading global three day forum for enterprise and entrepreneurship educators and practitioners – the 14th International Entrepreneurship Educators Conference.

IEEC is highly regarded for its participatory style with a wide range of interactive workshops, presentations and Pecha Kucha sessions led by educators and practitioners. During plenary sessions, keynotes will be led by inspirational experts from across the world.

By attending you will learn, participate, connect, contribute and network with old and new colleagues and friends. Most importantly, at the end of the three days, you will go home inspired to try new approaches, enabled and equipped to be more innovative and better able to maximise the impact of your work.

It is a brilliant conference and I love the way everyone involved in this area is keen to share their experiences and help others.” – IEEC2018 delegate

Why Oxford ?

With excellent links to London, all main airports and rail stations, Oxford is an easily accessible destination for both UK and international delegates. The “city of dreaming spires” is home to world leading education and research institutions with a booming economy that attracts many million visitors a year from all over the world.

Located a stone’s throw away from the Cotswolds, the UK’s second largest protected landscape, where you can enjoy ancient beech woodlands, thatched cottages, honey-coloured dry stone walls and centuries-old buildings that will leave you feeling like you have travelled back in time.

Oxford Brookes University has over 150 years of history. In the past seven years, the Enterprise Support programme has been fostering the development of numerous start-ups led by students, graduates and staff alike. Through a comprehensive training scheme, aspiring entrepreneurs benefit from interacting with experienced mentors working in the industry and get to practice their enterprise skills in real life situations, having them truly embed our guiding principles of enterprising creativity and generosity of spirit.

More information will follow soon.

The call for session proposals will open in March
