For too long the state of university student entrepreneurship has been isolated, left in the dark or not taken seriously. We are creating a weekend where their fire will burn brighter not because it's burning faster, but because it has found a bonfire to burn in.

Entrepreneur libraries

Selected student founders become books. Within small groups (3-6) participants move from one book to another after having "read" its story, asking it questions, as well as writing and sharing their own personal reflections of how the story relates to them.

Campfire stories

A picture can paint a thousand words, but how can you paint the picture using only words? Any good campfire story should enchant the listeners until the last breath warms the room with its secrets. These workshops give you a safe space to work on this hidden but much-needed founders skillset.

Networking

We know there's more to it than simply putting a pizza in front of a bunch of people. We are having facilitated networking through workshops and events, sessions to help the future entrepreneurs learn how to network, in addition to un-facilitated networking.

Study/chillout tent

We're also students, so we get it. The fire is burning outside but you've still got some things to do or need a space to breathe. Take the time, recharge, finish that tutorial sheet, and come back a little less stressed and ready to soak in the warmth floating round.

Panels, keynotes

Yes, the classics, but these aren't just any classics, these are the classics which will fuel you up to reach further than you've ever gone before. The content will spark conversations which will ignite change. By coming around and learning, we're able to strengthen our base, burn longer and stronger.

This event will not be able to run without willing partners and sponsors. So this is your opportunity to add in your sparks to the kindling and launch yourself into this overlooked pool of flames.

Participant

Whether you're a sapling or a well aged trunk, a bonfire burns best with it all. To add to that, sticks make more noise, mess and flame when together.
