Convention CELEBRATIONS
Celebrating ten years of the Acumen Business Convention, a motivational and inspiring event where new meaningful connections are made
T
he acumen business convention 2019 held its special tenth edition on May 8th with hundreds of decision makers from across the region in attendance. This year was absolutely packed with fantastic speak-
ers, entertainment and excitement. This is most likely the only business convention where, as a delegate, you are greeted by tribal zebra people (and that’s not just the Acumen team)! Af-
ter a delicious lunch, zebras burst on to the stage to give a wild and exhilarating dance performance, wowing the audience and getting everyone energised for the afternoon. The big build up was worth the wait when special tenth anniversary guest speaker, Tony Bloom, owner and Chairman of Brighton & Hove Albion FC took to the stage, sharing his fascinating business journey with the captivated audience. A double whammy for this special occasion was top keynote speaker Simon Woodroffe OBE, Founder of YO! Sushi, who gave a most inspirational performance. He told his story with deep and meaningful thoughts for the audience to take away. As well as thought-provoking speakers, the event featured an abundance of quality networking opportunities
