Anyone considering starting a business, or who has recently started a business might find the Business Startup Show interesting. It’s taking place on the 28/29th November at the Olympia in London and tickets are FREE.

It’s many years since I’ve been to one, but it was an interesting show, we met some interesting people, got some good ideas and bumped into Rueben Singh who we knew from school. The speakers are generally interesting and this year they have quite a number, most interesting are:

• James Caan from Dragons’Den- I’d make a point of listening to anything he has to say, he’s by far the best Dragon.
• Rachel Elnaugh an ex Dragon and the founder of Red Letter Days, however I’d probably give this a miss as it sounds like it might be a promotional effort for her book Business Nightmares.
• Martin Webb the presenter of Channel Four’s Risking It All and author of Make Your First Million.
• Levi Roots one of the Dragons’ Den success stories.
• Craig Upton who is speaking about SEO, I’ve no idea if he’s any good, but start-ups do need to be aware of SEO so it’s probably worth going.
• Stefan Töpfer because I enjoy his blog (which is one of the top 100 business blogs).
• William Brooks who is speaking about raising equity capital.
