Events

The Sir Peter Rigby Centre for Enterprise is bringing about a new era of enterprise at the University of Liverpool. And there are a variety of exciting events taking place to make that happen.

Since its launch in September 2024, the Centre has quickly become a vibrant hub for entrepreneurial activity and innovation.

It's come to life through a shared effort by the Careers and Employability Entrepreneurship and Start-Up team, the Brett Centre for Entrepreneurship, and a host of students, staff, and external partners. Their collective work has delivered inspiring events and activities that support entrepreneurial ambition across the University.

Find out more about some of the events we're hosting in the coming months below, as well as learning about the events we've held since the Centre opened in late 2024.
