This one-day symposium on February 19th 2025 will be held at The Shard, London and  is designed for ECR/A, and Doctoral Students, and affords them the opportunity to present their research and gain feedback from peers and experienced academics within the Small Business and Enterprise research field.  This event is in-person only to allow for networking opportunities, round-table discussions, and speaker sessions as well as opportunities to share any developmental research ideas that they wish to finesse to inform future conference papers and article submissions.
