'The types of speakers that you bring in are really top notch, and ones that you wouldn’t necessarily see at any other entrepreneurship event.'
'One of the most inspiring and useful events I’ve attended. I immediately started working on my business card and improving my website.'
The Design Museum and Creative Entrepreneurs are excited to announce the launch of their first full-year programme of their flagship series Startup Essentials, running from May through December 2020.
The programme presents a comprehensive series of courses which will arm attendees with the full range of basic skills they need to build their new creative business. The courses are presented by leading experts in their fields, giving unique access to crucial information in a language creative people can understand.
The programme culminates with a special graduation celebration in the main space of the Design Museum. All attendees will be awarded a certificate of successful completion, the digital version of which can be automatically added to LinkedIn or other social media, and can be listed on your CV or resume.
