Review of the socially conscious entrepreneurs Conference & Previous Press release
Review of The Socially Conscious Entrepreneurs Conference
On 9th September we staged the 2nd Annual Socially Conscious Entrepreneurs Conference BUSINESS, MONEY & YOU in London with delegates and speakers arriving from all across the UK as well as Montreal, Germany and Colorado.
Opening the Conference at 9:30am on a Monday morning singing my rendition of Dennis Brown’s Love and Hate to the pleasant surprise of delegates instantly changed the atmosphere in the room, focusing everyone's attention as I randomly chose people to sing the chorus line. This was going to be a Conference like no other as we showcased speakers and panelists who were all part of this rising world wide movement.
Our keynote speaker Terry Jervis “A National Treasure” shared one of his early stories of entrepreneurship, that of him going to America and making a documentary about Sam Cook whilst just 15 years of age.
The fireside chat with our main sponsor Real Ventures representative Phil Gagnon-Joseph who flew in from Montreal was particularly insightful as we learned about this unique venture capital firm and the vision of its co-founder John Stokes to raise 75M to invest in Conscious Entrepreneur Founders across the globe.
He and I had joined forces earlier this year when he learnt of the conference and our intention to launch our TALENT Project which would see Conscious Entrepreneurs embark on a 9 month programme resulting in a winner receiving up to £100k of Mentoring, coaching and investment.
BUSINESS Speakers included Bolaji Olatoye, Mac Attram along with Michelle Raymond whilst in the afternoon MONEY speakers Lewis Crompton and Sharon Gitau were joined by panelist Tolu Wosu along with Nick Howe from NatWest.
After presenting the YOU session all about MINDSET and personal development, a range of courses from the DADA Success Academy was launched along with a series of zoom Masterclasses that will take place each Monday for several weeks as we do a deeper learning dive with some of the speakers and panelists.

Testimonials:
It highlighted the need to find my purpose to excel. The conference has opened my eyes to becoming a more conscious business, where the focus is on helping others rather than being solely concerned with money.
Being around like minded individuals that were relentlessly positive and wanting to build together. It has given me a renewed sense of hope

The Success metrics in the Business world today Tony says has changed. “Your Business is an extension of YOU, but only a few recognise this and even fewer understand the opportunity this change offers”. Tony Dada
Historically, under-supported groups of entrepreneurs in the UK have grappled with substantial obstacles in obtaining funding by way of Capital Investments and business loans, accessing valuable mentorship, and gaining the essential exposure to flourish. A 2022 report commissioned by NatWest Group, entitled "A Blueprint for Advancing the UK Ethnic Minority Businesses", underscored the significant economic potential. It estimated that by providing adequate support and accurate tracking of activities for ethnic minority businesses (EMBs), the UK economy could receive a remarkable £100 billion boost.
Following the conference The Conscious Entrepreneurs TALENT Project will be the programme delivered by Tony Dada joined by VC Co-Founder John Stokes of Real Ventures and other experts to identify promising founders.
