On 14 November, we’ll be hosting our annual Heropreneurs Awards Night at The Shard in London.
We cannot wait to host our community and wider network at this incredible venue (a huge thank you to Warwick Business School for having us back again this year).
After last year’s successful event we will be keeping the format the same, with an opportunity for our mentees and mentors to meet and learn together during the afternoon.
The evening will be focused upon bringing together our wider networks and supporters, alongside our mentees and mentors, to celebrate the achievements of the military business community. We will also be announcing the winners of the Heropreneurs Awards as well as the winner of the prestigious Warwick Business School bursary award.
We believe that building relationships and connections is one of the most powerful tools in business, so bringing everyone together is a highlight we are really looking forward to!
