Following the success of Go Global events held during Global Entrepreneurship Week, we’re delighted to announce that with support from DHL and Regus, the Go Global events are back and they’re more regular!

Each month will see a Go Global event take place at the O2 Workshop on 229 Tottenham Court Road. The Go Global events are tailored for you if:

• You’re considering exporting but don’t know where to start
• You have international sales and wanting this to grow

The events cost just £5 to attend, will be held from 6 to 7.30pm and the first five sessions are open for bookings! You will also receive a copy of Go Global by Emma Jones to help you take your business to the world.

Free or low cost technology tools and platforms have opened up vibrant new markets and with a niche product or service, the opportunity to Go Global is a clear one.

We hope to see you at the workshops so you can make the most of the opportunity!
