Co-op Connections: Ideas Generator
Event
Join Co-operatives UK for a 15 minute talk with one of our members followed by networking on Wednesday 27 April from 3.30pm-4.30pm.
About the event
The Ideas Generator is a 15-minute talk based on ideas, co-op practices or resources that are worth spreading to ALL.
Hear about some of the hidden innovations that make up the incredible array of co-ops across the UK.
Idea Generator talks are all about the strength of the idea and not the speaker. If you have something up your co-op sleeve, speak to the membership team here at Co-operatives UK. Together we will generate a pool of alternative business ideas for all to share.
