Business Start-up 2008

This massive show takes place 25-26 April at Excel, in London. I’ve been to the show before, and there’s no doubt you can pick up a lot of good info and advice, and indeed inspiration.

If you are feeling brave, Viking Direct is once again hosting ‘The Midas Touch’, your chance to pitch an idea to some very successful businesspeople (it’s broadly modelled on the Dragon’s Den).

Of course, one downside to wandering around Excel’s a vast shed is the inevitable physical and mental fatigue. That malaise is not unlike the culture-blindness that results from trying to pack in from one art gallery too many.

Many of the exhibitors will be trying to get you to get your wallet out, understandably. So long as you’re mindful of this the array of free advice and tips and entertainment on offer makes the show well worth it.
