All on board with Branson
Sir Richard Branson will be on board a specially-chartered Virgin train bringing 250 business people from London to Liverpool for the Global Entrepreneurship Congress 2012.
On Tuesday 13 March, the VIP Entrepreneurs Express will travel from London Euston to Liverpool Lime Street carrying invited delegates to the world’s biggest gathering of startup champions.
Guests on the train, which departs at 6.30am arriving before 9am, will have the chance to meet Sir Richard and network with Congress partners, national media, policy makers and corporate sponsors before the main GEC session begins at 10am.
Each ‘Congress commuter’ will be offered a complimentary continental breakfast and a standard day return ticket back to the capital.
Sir Richard Branson will be the keynote speaker alongside many other luminaries of business including former Tesco CEO Sir Terry Leahy, the founder of Lastminute.com, Martha Lane Fox and Lord Michael Heseltine.
Max Steinberg, chief executive of Liverpool Vision, which, with the US-based Kauffman Foundation is hosting the prestigious event, said: “This is a unique opportunity to meet and talk with VIP GEC delegates including Sir Richard, one of the most successful businessmen in the world.
“We are grateful to Virgin Trains and it will ensure that the Congress will begin on a high note, one that will be sustained throughout the week because of the quality and range of events in the Festival of Entrepreneurship.”
