UAL Social Enterprising Alumni Event

Tuesday 25 September, 6:30pm-8:30pm
WeWork Old Street, Corsham Street, London, N1 6DR

This September, the UAL Enterprising Alumni Association will be joined by Chivas Whisky at an exclusive event to provide aspiring entrepreneurs and business owners like you the opportunity to get a unique insight into their Global Awards programme, Chivas Venture.

Every year, the Chivas Venture gives away $1million of no-strings funding to social entrepreneurs, who are solving the world's biggest social and environmental issues.

Chivas Venture 2018 global winner Cemal Ezel will be discussing how he founded Change Please, the coffee company that empowers the homeless community by training them to be baristas, paying them the London Living Wage and finding them housing. It is a great opportunity to hear Cemal's experiences of setting up an inspiring company.

The Enterprising Alumni Association delivers an innovative programme of events that have been designed to provide thought-provoking inspiration for creative businesses and we hope that you will join us for this event.

Talks will be followed by networking and a cocktail drinks reception.

To be kept in the loop with future Enterprising Alumni Association events, news and opportunities, join their Facebook group.
