I have been fortunate enough to train people in social media at a number of events over the last few years but none has got me as excited as Made in 48 Hours. The event was the idea of Ex-Dragon’s Den “Dragon”, Doug Richards and the concept is taking 300 small businesses and within 48 hours training them up to have a web presence that a large brand would be envious of AND knowing what to do after the 48 hours has finished. It will be intense and a lot of work but it will change their business dramatically. It’s similar to a personal development weekend but for entreprenuers and without walking over hot coal, breaking through wood and chanting “Yes, YES, YEEESSSSS”.

What excites me the most about the 2 days is not only will I get a lot of useful information that will help my business (The Worst Kept Secret) from two trainers who are top in their field, Doug Richards (Ex Dragon, what more can i say) and Joost (SEO and WordPress genius) but also I have been asked to share the stage with them and help teach these 300 small businesses. I will explain in another post how I actually met Doug (Involves Social Media, Angel Investors and WWE Wrestling) and how it went from him offering advice to being 1 of the speakers at a very important event to him.

The agenda for the weekend is here and I will be covering around 5 sessions. This event will be part of the Entreprenuer festival and a number of amazing speakers and events will be taking place including:

• TED – Here is a link to their YouTube channel to watch some of the most inspirational speakers around
• Peter Jones – National Enterprise Academy Launch
• Rachel Bridge – How to make a million before lunch
