Inspired Islington

Islington is a phenomenally inspirational hub for business across the capital. To celebrate the inspirational journeys of the business people in and around the borough the Islington Chamber of Commerce have joined forces with Business Link to bring local established business owners "Inspired Islington", a free business conference on the 26th August. With its diverse range of industries and business owners it makes sense that businesses come together in Islington to network and celebrate their successes. In a time when the current climate has not been conducive to long term growth its only right that the Islington Chamber celebrates the businesses who have stood the test of time. These businesses continue to provide valuable business services and products and employing thousands of people across the capital. The event will be hosted by the renowned Business Design Centre; one of Islington's landmark venues.

Inspired Islington is a half day conference bringing together growing and established businesses from across the capital together in an inspirational environment. This is the place to feel motivated and to do business. With Speed-Networking, Business Stands and extraordinary Key note speakers this is set to be an exceptional event.
