A former BBC Dragon will be heading to Warwickshire this November to speak at the biggest business conference in the region.

Entrepreneur, business influencer and investor Piers Linney, formerly of BBC’s Dragons’ Den and Channel 4’s The Secret Millionaire, will be keynote speaker at Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce’s annual business and economic conference.

Linney, who’s also co-founder of Implement AI and chair and co-founder of Atherton Bikes, will deliver a keynote address at the event, taking place at the IXL Events Centre in Southam on Friday 8 November.

The conference brings together businesspeople and decision makers – including MPs and representatives from local authorities – to network and hear from a range of speakers and panellists.

Headline sponsors are Prime Accountants Group, with media and communications firm PLMR Advent on board as media partners.

Corin Crane, chief executive of Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber, said he was anticipating the conference to be one of the best yet.

He said: “The chamber’s annual business and economic conference is the biggest event on the business calendar each year – and this one promises to be up there with our best.

“This will be my third conference since becoming chief executive here in Coventry and Warwickshire, and the buzz in the room, the level of networking and the quality of the speakers is incredible.

“I’m thrilled that we’ve managed to secure Piers Linney as our keynote speaker.

“He’s obviously a very well-known name because of his media work, but I’m really excited to see what he’s going to say when it comes to AI.

“It’s something that is going to impact all of us in business, and to hear directly from an expert in the field is going to be fascinating.

“On top of that, we’ll have economic updates, hear from senior regional figures on what’s happening here in Coventry and Warwickshire and update on chamber activity.

“It all adds up to an unmissable event.”
