The founder of Just Drinking Water will speak at the grand celebration of Enterprise Thursday on Thursday 7 May.
Neil Tomlinson will be one of the keynote speakers at the networking event, which marks the culmination of a series of interactive seminars featuring talks by inspirational leaders from business, charities and social enterprises.
Tony Ellis and Judy Ellis of Conceptioneering; Sophie Major, head of the International Yahoo! Developer Network; and Sarah Payne and Rory Payne, founders of Cocoa Loco, will make up the guest-speaker panel.
The programme includes presentations from student and graduate entrepreneurs, as well as a discussion on the question 'Is the current recession an opportunity or a challenge for entrepreneurs?'.
All staff and students are also invited to suggest a 'burning question' for the panel. The most original and topical question will win a bottle of bubbly and will be asked on the night. Email your question to michelle.downs@sussex.ac.uk by 30 April.
All Sussex staff and students are invited to the evening, which begins at 5.30pm in the Chichester 1 lecture theatre and foyer. It is also open to alumni and members of the business community.
