This event is being organised and supported by recipients of The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise Promotion. This Award celebrates and recognises the activities of individuals who have played an outstanding and significant role in promoting enterprise skills and attitudes in others in the UK.

Encouraging or facilitating the sort of skills and attitudes found in an enterprise environment - whether in a commercial business or a social enterprise - is the essence of 'Enterprise Promotion'.

There have been ten standard Awards and one Lifetime Achievement Award each year since 2005 – making a total of 55 current holders. Over 40 of them are expected to speak in this Convention - as marked (QAEP 200?) to indicate the year of award.

Note: The closing date for nominations for the current year is 30th October 2009.
