Workshops
Choose from a wide variety of professional development and creative skills workshops, ranging from one-to-one business mentoring, to bespoke perfume making, and everything in between. If these sessions don’t inspire you to pursue your creative dreams, or start your business this year, nothing will!
Spaces are limited, so booking in advance is advised.
To be able to reserve your space for the wide variety of workshops or talks, you must first book Startup Showcase tickets for either the Saturday or Sunday event (or both!) depending on which day you’ve booked your workshop
