IGNITE............what's inside?

This weekend (Saturday to be precise) brings you a big, exciting and refreshing event for young adults (age group: 20s to mid 30s). It is an entrepreneural, business and careers event. It is known as IGNITE and is brought to us by a group of young adults at the Jesus House Centre, London. See flyer for info:

I know it is worth attending because it presents the perfect opportunity to network with highly successful entrepreneurs and like minded business men and women whilst gaining an insight into applying good Christian principles in business and in our careers. It is also open to everyone.
