Entrepreneurs Society: Director of Events and Socials 

As Director of Events I would host a range of events such as networking events where students can meet fellow university and early stage founders, events with guest speakers who have founded or helped grow successful start ups, and variety of socials that would include pub and club nights.

Hello everyone, I’m Louis and I’m running for the Head of Events and Socials at UCLE with a goal to enrich your experience.

Last year, strict restrictions were imposed due to COVID making it impossible for everyone to either meet new people or network. As a fresher myself, I’ve seen how useful networking events and social events can be as they allow us to meet new people and receive career advice from employers.

Therefore as the Head of Events and socials, I will:

• Organise more networking events with employers, social events and UCLES flagship hackathons
• Increase communication within the events team by setting up weekly informal meetings to increase the chemistry within the committee
• Collaborate with entrepreneur societies from other universities (e.g. University of Cambridge, Imperial and KCL)

Vote for Louis, vote for someone who can bring you more networking events, career opportunities and improve the chemistry within the committee.

I am running for the Director of Events and Socials position at UCLe because I believe I have the experience and skills to help plan exciting and insightful events. Being Events & Socials Executive at UCLe for the past year has allowed me to become familiar with event logistics and how to plan an engaging event. I have built an already existing network of speakers, founders and leaders that I can work with in the upcoming year. Lastly, working with Entrepreneur First this year has widened my professional connections to startups and young founders.

As director, I would:

1. Plan more events in collaboration with other societies. The events team and myself have noticed this year that collaborations are particularly successful, and I want to plan even more socials, networking and ideation events with other entrepreneur societies outside of UCL.
2. Plan more events at the Entrepreneur First office, so that UCLe members can become familiar with how to begin their own company and network with existing founders.
3. Focus on coordinating with UCLe divisions so that events do not overlap with other UCLe initiatives. Such coordination will also help with marketing prioritisation so that events don’t get ‘lost’. This will hopefully increase the event turn out and help with organisation.

If you are just as excited as I am for another year of great events and networking opportunities, I would appreciate your support!
