Each year, the IEEC creates a dynamic setting by bringing together entrepreneurship educators, practitioners and contributors from around the world. The conference, which is led by Enterprise Educators UK and the National Council for Graduate Entrepreneurship (NCGE) provides a stimulating programme for delegates and speakers to share knowledge, experience and good practice in developing enterprising students and graduate entrepreneurs across all disciplines and contexts.

The IEEC’s target audience is senior leaders, academics, and practitioners from higher and further education worldwide. The conference also attracts policymakers and senior representatives from government departments, regional development agencies, enterprise agencies, the schools sector and business support organisations.

The conference will consider the challenges of developing the concept of an entrepreneurial university and embedding entrepreneurial activity into the fabric of institutions. The programme will incorporate plenty of networking time to enable delegates to meet each other and view exhibition stands. The organisers anticipate that delegate numbers will be in the region of 250, drawn from the UK, Europe, North America and Asia.
