Well, that’s it for another year, but what an amazing conference! The feedback has been sensational, with one attendee complaining (not really) of still suffering a sore head two days later from thinking about all the discussions and ideas from the event.
We’ll be sharing videos and images over the next week or so, please watch out for those, but in the meantime we wanted to share the key themes that came from the speakers’ presentations and to ask for your highlights; what piece of advice did you take away with you? What will you be changing in your company as a result of listening to our fantastic speakers or chatting to other entrepreneurs?
We felt that there were eight key themes that recurred during the day:
1. Perseverance, tenacity, resilience (every speaker said this)
2. Failure is good, use it
3. Focus focus focus
4. Use the organisations in the ecosystem – Power of Youth, Saltire, ESpark etc
5. Think big, then think a bit bigger, then go for it
6. Learn from your competition
7. Passion
8. Believe in the power of our young people
Do you agree? Is there something you think we’ve missed? Please tell us!

It was clear from social media that there were few favourites in the room, most notably Kresse Wesling, Lara Morgan and the Flavourly boys, Ryan O’Rorke and Assean Sheikh, but all our speakers were great and provoked a lot of thought with their presentations.
Who was your favourite speaker and why? What was it that resonated with you and your business?
We’ll be sharing all your feedback alongside the videos and images, so please do get in touch – email michelle@tartancat.com with your thoughts.
