Voice 09

edenfinal.jpgIt’s only a few weeks now until Voice 09, the conference and exhibition for the social enterprise sector. This year for the first time it’s being held in Birmingham at the ICC on February 10th and 11th.

The beauty of the Voice conference is that you can make of it what you want. If you like to listen to politicians then there’ll be a spattering of those; if however you prefer to meet other social entrepreneurs there’ll be many opportunities for that - in the exhibition, at the Tuesday evening reception, or through the Make a Meeting facility. There’s also an interesting programme of seminars ranging from Social Enterprise 101 for those who want to know the basics through to ones on co-operation and how to approach the challenge of an economic downturn. If you need even more input then you can book a free surgery with some very impressive experts including Bates, Wells and Braithwaite dispensing legal advice and Red Ochre offering business support.

Finally, there’s the exhibition - and in the heart of that, in one of the “inspirational igloos” you’ll find Decoda. We’ll be offering delegates the opportunity to take a few minutes out from thinking and talking to play instead by changing the images on the walls of the igloo. We’ll also have details of the Futurebuilders-backed maze for people with profound disabilities, which will soon be available. So, if you’re at Voice 09 please come along and find us.

All details of the exhibition are on the Voice 09 website. To contact Decoda please use the form or phone us, either on 0424 439192 or 0845 2938354.
