Small and medium-sized company owners have the opportunity to access leading business professionals to receive advice and guidance at the inaugural Sage World on September 8th-9th.

Taking place at the International Centre, Telford, the event is offering the opportunity for anyone looking to start or grow a business to gain ideas, advice and inspiration

The free to attend two-day event brings together a diverse mix of speakers including a bomb disposal expert and a former international poker player, and is being launched to inspire and support business talent and the UK small business community. With engaging keynotes from Karen Brady, Will King, and Mark Palmer, Global Brand Director of Green & Black's Organic.

"Small businesses in the UK have been hit hard by the challenging economic climate so we wanted to set up an event where they could interact with some of the country's leading business people and get support and answers to the questions they have," said Brendan Flattery, Managing Director of Sage's Small Business Division.

"But there are also a lot of skills that can be brought into business from other professions and the fantastic line up of speakers we have will encourage everyone to look at their company and their challenges in a different light."

Sage World runs from 8th-9th September at the International Centre Telford. The event is open to all and free to attend, but registration is required as tickets are limited. For more information and to register please visit www.sageworld2010.com [1]
