What the day covers
Three tracks running through one room. You do not choose, everyone sees everything.
Money that is not an investor
Revenue, loans, cooperatives and grants. What each actually costs you and which ones are realistic here.
Hiring your first five
Contracts, pay, and how to let someone go without wrecking a small team. The practical version.
Nobody is speaking about a company they sold in 2014
Every speaker is running a Ugandan business right now. If they stop running it before November, they come off the programme. That has happened once and we replaced the session.
- Every speaker currently operating, not retired and not advising
- Sessions are thirty minutes with fifteen for questions
- No sponsor gets a speaking slot, at any price
- Recordings go to ticket holders inside two weeks
Two hundred and sixty two seats are gone
Early tickets are 120,000 shillings until 10 October, then 180,000. The price on the page is the price at the door.
