Build Together. Celebrate Together.

Global Entrepreneurship Week | Celebrating With Excellence 2026

Thursday 19 November 2026 | 10am–4pm
No. 1 Circle Square, Manchester

Better ideas. Smarter ways of working. Stronger business connections.

Join WIB360 for a day designed to help you move your business forward, meet people who could open new doors and celebrate entrepreneurial achievement.

As part of Global Entrepreneurship Week, we're bringing together entrepreneurs, business leaders, experts and the Enterprise Vision Awards community for practical learning, inspiration and meaningful connections.

Whether you're launching a business, planning your next stage of growth or leading an established company, you'll find fresh perspectives and opportunities to take away.

The Morning: Build Together

10am–12.30pm | Practical Business Masterclasses

Three expert-led masterclasses designed to help women strengthen their businesses, work smarter and turn ideas into action.

Discover how to:

• Strengthen your brand and stand out in a competitive market.
• Save valuable time by identifying opportunities for AI and automation.
• Explore new approaches to business growth.
• Make connections with people who understand your challenges.
• Leave with practical ideas you can implement straight away.

Featured Masterclass: The Art of Automation

Join Dubai-based entrepreneur Angela Soudi, Founder of Soudi Automation, for an interactive session exploring how AI can help businesses reduce repetitive tasks, improve efficiency and reclaim valuable time.

Through her Invisible Employee Audit, you'll identify where time is being lost, calculate the cost and develop a practical plan to make improvements.

No technical knowledge required. Just useful advice and actions you can put to work.

Further masterclass announcements coming soon.

The Afternoon: Celebrating With Excellence

12.30pm–4pm | Celebration, Connections and Inspiration

After a morning focused on building what's next, we'll celebrate what's already been achieved.
