The event is to be held on 28th May 2015 at the prestigious Pocklington School where William Wilberforce once walked the halls and was one of its most notable pupils; he was an avid campaigner for the abolition of the slave trade and advocate for free thinking.
Join us on a journey of exploration, adventure and freethinking into the minds of inspired people, business leaders and individuals who will change the game and look to the future.
We want….
… to connect generations from baby boomers through generation X to generation Y and everything either side.
… to inspire people to be the best they can be and help them to create a successful business approach.
… to unite people though creativity and contemporary methods of communication, freeing minds from the bonds of traditional thought.
We aim to provide inspiration on enhanced learning techniques:
• Current technology and contemporary communication
• Innovative ways to think outside the ordinary
• Educational learning and development techniques
• Digital world interaction and communication
Our life cycle of learning
Learning begins from Day One – we absorb everything around us; life itself is stimulation. As we grow, we find avenues of learning that inspire and are engaging and personal to us as individuals.
We want to explore the true nature of friendship - how many friends can exist on a virtual platform? How can these friends change your life, your thinking and affect self-confidence.
Technology is changing the world and the revolution will now be tweeted, filmed, blogged, vlogged, recorded and shared in every way possible. One speech can change the world and influence people’s lives in a matter of seconds.
Technology can connect people from different backgrounds, cultures and religions, all with a common theme or ‘like’.
People are important; they are and always will be what matters. It’s people who connect us in life, through experience and influence our mind, body and spirit. It’s people who connect with our senses and help us strive for success on our lifelong journey of hope, exploration and learning.
People provide us with ideas to make a difference and give us the confidence to stand up for what we believe in. Creativity and innovation give us a reason to express and technology enables us to share our ideas to the world.
As we grow into our mindset, we come to understand that learning and education is an ongoing process - the more know, the more we find there is to learn.

Our aim is to highlight how people can embrace lifelong learning and creative education to further their personal and business development.
