The International Association for Enterprise Promotion was launched in 2009. Its objective is to promote learning and sharing internationally by all those engaged in enterprise promotion - including business advisers, coaches, consultants, counsellors, educators, financiers, mentors and trainers - and who have an interest in encouraging and supporting people to start and grow a business.

Its first event was the inaugral International Enterprise Promotion Convention which showcased best practice and innovation in the creation and support of small businesses world-wide and was a unique opportunity for all to promote their own successes and to network with like-minded specialists in SME creation and development. Copies of the presentations from the 2009 Convention are available to download from the Enterprise Promotion website.

This site has been set up to enable all those with an interest in enterprise promotion, particularly convention participants and speakers, to engage with each other and to share ideas, lessons and knowledge on a continuing basis.

The next convention will be held on 8-10 November 2010, at the Harrogate International Centre in Yorkshire.
