Follow the Entrepreneur Conference

By Spear's

Follow The Entrepreneur 2014 is an invitation-only investor summit hosted in association with RBC Wealth Management, taking place on Friday 5 September at the Four Seasons Hotel, Hampshire, UK. There is a dinner in the evening.

 

Organised by Ariadne Capital, the fourth Follow The Entrepreneur Investor Summit will address the leadership role of entrepreneurs in changing the way we live and the transformational impact that they have on all aspects of society.

 

Follow The Entrepreneur is unique because its starting point is:

> Society works best when it is organised around the entrepreneur/the industrialist/those men and women who understand the future and are living abnormal lives to bring it to the present;

> Technology is no longer an industry; it’s a layer providing growth and driving prosperity; and

> Capital Follows Ideas – always has, always will.
