Thirsty Thursday

Network. Learn. Be inspired.

That's Thirsty Thursday's mission. This popular, free event helps Nottingham's budding entrepreneurs to translate their business aspirations into reality.

Thirsty Thursday is organised by NTU and the University of Nottingham. Its success is evident due to the fact that it is now in its ninth year, having just celebrated its twenty-fifth event. Thirsty Thursday motivates students and graduates to become more entrepreneurial and consider the option of running their own businesses.

Over the years, more than 2,000 participants with drive and ambition have enhanced their knowledge. They have learnt about everything from marketing to finances, received expert support and gained up-to-date information on the business topics of the day.

Thirsty Thursday events provide an opportunity to hear successful young entrepreneurs recount their own experiences in an informal social setting and everyone has the opportunity to network afterwards over drinks and a buffet. The DJ and prize draws also add extra interest.

Thirsty Thursday is the place to be if you have an exciting business idea.

Over 60 people attended the last event on Thursday 6 December 2012

The event featured:

Thomas Ogden, co-founder of Cocogreen
Thomas founded Cocogreen in 2009, while studying Product Design at NTU. The company has quickly grown into a successful manufacturer and professional horticultural brand, with 2012 UK sales to-date reaching £1.9m. Thomas is a determined self-believer, who always wanted to be his own-boss. He believes that, in today’s stagnant economy, the safest bet for talented young individuals is to take a plunge while at university - get into business and create your own job.
