The Knowledge Peers’ Autumn Exchange: 28th November, Kia Oval.
London’s leading business innovation event - The Knowledge Peers Exchange, returns on Thursday 28th November with two linked conferences in one day, covering key critical issues for businesses; Innovative Finance for Growth, and Building Value in the Cloud.
The day will be full, comprehensive and hugely intensive. Vital stuff for those with serious interests in how technology and changing funding patterns are becoming crucial and fundamental to our everyday business life in an increasingly competitive landscape.
Over evening drinks, we'll also be joined by the Commonwealth Games of England team, who will talk about how plans for Glasgow 2014 are progressing.
Morning:Innovative Finance for Growth
Alternative financial services in the UK have given small businesses access to finance which has otherwise been unattainable. Yet, many businesses are unaware of these innovative tools and how they can take advantage of them.
The morning will explore the very merits and shortcomings of this nascent industry by analysing the various players and ideas in the field.

Afternoon:
Building Value in the Cloud
The exploitation of technology is critical to their success yet many organisations are eager to move beyond a discussion of ‘The Cloud’. Presenting innovative research, thought-leaders unafraid of contrary opinions and real life case studies, Exchange 2013 will focus the attention on what it has always been about. How technology, has, is and will provide a commercial and operational advantage.
