INVITATION New and growing businesses are vital to economic growth and innovation. Many people round the world are engaged in promoting enterprise and supporting entrepreneurs and there are some exciting programmes. Do you see Enterprise as a transformational force for people and communities? Do you support Enterprise Promotion, as a practitioner, funder or policymaker? Do you want to share your successes? And learn from the experience of colleagues around the World? If you can answer Yes to even one of these questions, you should be at IEPC 2010, at Harrogate, North Yorkshire from 8-10 November. The inaugural International Enterprise Promotion Convention last year demonstrated the demand for an event which brings together a host of people with a common interest in Enterprise Promotion. The informal and participative format worked well and the Harrogate location, with its superb International Convention Centre and wide range of accommodation and hospitality options was the perfect venue. Our aim is for IEPC to be bigger and better than ever. Hard-hitting plenary speakers, more focused themes, more time for discussion, better value. Come and join us at IEPC2010: We look forward to welcoming you to Harrogate. FROM the Directors of the International Association for Enterprise Promotion: David Irwin, George Derbyshire, Tony Robinson, Brian and Beryl Dunsby
