Enjoyed #IEEC2025 @eeuk.bsky.social this year at @manmetuni.bsky.social - as a track chair and presenter, and conference dinner at the National Football Museum with colleagues past and present from @alliancembs.bsky.social @officialuom.bsky.social #Entrepreneurship

#ieec2025 was amazing and well worth the time away. I did miss Daz though. Can’t really smuggle a greyhound into a conference.
Highlights of #IEEC2025 for me...
After two great days of learning at Enterprise Educators UK conference #IEEC2025 at The Manchester Metropolitan University Business school I received my fellowship at last nights gala dinner. Big shout out to my fabulous supporters Kathryn Penaluna and Andy Penaluna
Four tables with participants actively discussing different topics.
An Unconference market place whiteboard with research in enterprise topics and Manchester band-based group names. A slide on a screen next to it with Unconference format summary.
I love facilitating Unconferences! Such high quality discussion going on at the Research in Enterprise Education Unconference session. #REndEd #ieec2025
Absolutely glorious time at International Enterprise Educators Conference 2025! #EEUK #IEEC2025
Great to catch up with fab friends & present two papers with collaborators: first on our Manchester Unhackathon, & second on our EEUK Impact Award funded project on music enterprise education in schools
Next year … (drum roll) … Nottingham and Nottingham Trent University. #ieec2025
Just been shown a quote by Alfred Whitehead by Dave Jarman #ieec2025. Found some more and pretty much every one hits home for me. www.goodreads.com/author/quote...
Dave using Elon Musk as another example of a disruptor, telling the audience how I would be flooding Twitter with live tweets using the conference hashtag. No more. Disruption is not always positive (getting to love Bluesky, but really miss what Twitter was) #ieec2025
“You’re not ready for this”
Cute golden dog looking up at the camera
Cute golden dog in amongst ferns and purple flowers
Golden dog with goofy eyes and tongue touching nose (still cute)
Awww. Blossom! #ieec2025. Apparently a metaphor for disruption. How cute though?!
Dave Jarman “FROM THE WILDERNESS, TO THE MAINSTREAM, AND BEYOND...”
The legendary Dave Jarman at #ieec2025. Love Dave’s work.
Right. Adding in a definition of a co-operative to my imminent introduction to entrepreneurship lecture. Found some good examples to include. #ieec2025 www.uk.coop/directory?pa...
Huge screen with a slide highlighting the impact of co-operatives
CO-OPERATIVES K DISRUPTION, CO-OPERATION AND THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION Rose Marley, CEO, Co-operatives UK August 2025
This has been a fantastic conference for highlighting the need for conversations about equity of access, sustainability, ethics, and inclusion of many forms of business including co-operatives, social enterprises through to high-growth commercial models. #ieec2025
Please feel free to add me #ieec2025

One of the reasons why being part of the Enterprise Educators UK community means so much to me. #ieec2025 @eeuk.bsky.social

The annual #ieec2025 policy update is here. Always a highlight. Missing @alisonentev.bsky.social who has led this for some time so well. EEUK President Emilee Simmons taking up the challenge this year. Starting message is that we are world leaders in this space but we need to shout about it more.
Scrubs and Suits board game. Run your own hospital making decisions about where you spend your resources and get paid for activity.
One of the (many) reasons I love #ieec2025 is there are ‘have a go’ sessions to put yourself in the position of a student for a meaningful amount of time and really reflect on how you teach. ‘Scrubs and Suits’ from Newcastle Uni is brilliant!
It's an absolute pleasure to welcome @helenpankhurst.bsky.social to #IEEC2025 to talk about social disruption and it's relevance to entrepreneurship education
More to look out! Aiden Cinnamon Tea and burnout from humans.

Matt from the University of Westminster starting an interactive discussion on the needs of Freelancers. Slide showing separates out those who are curious from those with a side hustle from those who are a freelance business owner.
#IEEC2025 is go! Been meeting old friends, already making new ones, talking how we get our expertise known by policy makers, and now finding out about what students need and want to know about freelancing
In Manchester for the International Entrepreneurship Educators Conference #IEEC2025. Busy one for me! I’m on a panel today discussing AI disruption, demonstrating how I embed carbon literacy into an entrepreneurship assessment tomorrow, and co-chairing Future of Work track! ieec.co.uk #EntEd
