Schedule
Sunday, 12 April
3:30-6 pm Photo Walk (meet at Porters’ Lodge, Churchill College)
Join us for a relaxed, hosted walk into Cambridge. We’ll take our time, stop halfway for coffee, and get a feel for the city before things kick off. It’s a great chance to:
- See a bit of Cambridge beyond the conference
- Meet fellow attendees in a low-pressure setting
- Start conversations that will carry through the next two days
We’ll head back to Churchill College in time for the evening reception.
6–9 pm Pre-Registration & Drinks Reception (The Buttery Bar, Churchill College)
Arrive, check in, and settle in.
Pick up your badge, grab a drink, and start connecting with other founders, CEOs, and operators before the conference begins.
