On the final day of Enterprise Week 2008 (Friday 21st November 2008), award winning PR agency O Communications got behind the biggest ever youth summit to arrive in the North East, that will take place at Rainton Meadows Arena on 25th February 2009.
O Communications was appointed to gather young people and enterprise representatives from across the region to launch the summit, named ‘Cloud 9’ and graffiti artist entrepreneur Graham Cleland, performed a street art ‘guerrilla graffiti’ demo where he designed the logo design live in the car park of Emmanuel College, Gateshead.
Cloud 9 promises to be the biggest conference of its kind the region has seen with more than 1,000 young people expected to take part. The event will be hosted by the Entrepreneurs’ Forum, The Prince’s Trust, Make Your Mark, Young Enterprise, North East Enterprise Bond and One North East.
It will offer a unique blend of inspiration and practical support based on personal experience from a lineup of inspirational speakers including star of TV’s The Apprentice Tre Azam.
The summit will also include a Young Enterprise trading area, displays of enterprise projects from the region, interactive speakers’ corners with young entrepreneurs willing to share their skills and stories, a Live Challenge and live street art workshops.
Kari Owers managing director of O Communications said: “Supporting youth enterprise is at the heart of our work ethics here at O Communications. Over the years, we have worked with several large and small enterprise bodies to create award-winning campaigns. We are delighted to have been appointed to take lead on the media relations for the biggest enterprise youth summit to take place in the North East and will be set to ensure that this event is a success in inspiring the next generation of entrepreneurs.”
