Entrepreneurs Society: Events Executive

I am standing because I am deeply passionate about entrepreneurship, and as a fellow member of the society and early-stage founder myself, I have attended many events that became the reason behind founding my startup. Through them, I met the most incredible people and discovered skills and passions I never knew I had. These events have fueled me more than anything else to get involved in the tech and business scene, especially as a non-technical student, which is precisely what drives me to want to create events for everyone, particularly those from non-business and non-technical backgrounds, as I believe everyone has a place in this society. I am deeply dedicated to UCL Entrepreneur Society and will put in my full effort to ensure events are well-organised and span all types of interests across every industry. I want to inspire the same excitement they sparked in me, and keep alive the society's wonderful ability to inspire creation.

As a nominee for the Events Assistant position I feel very strongly about how events create change in the world by sparking curiosity, providing avenues of connection between people, and opening doors for students to explore things they did not know were possible.

Through my experience with UCL Entrepreneurs I started my experience at UCL through Business Game (the first event of the year). Even though I didn’t win the event, I had met other students that I otherwise would not have met, worked collaboratively with my team under pressure, and learned how just one event could drastically change a person’s life journey (it led directly to an offer from the company that hosted the event EY-Parthenon for spring internship!!!). This one event till this day holds a special place in my heart.

This is the reason I would like to pursue a career as an Event Executive. I wish to inspire that same kind of enthusiasm in others by creating experiences that will be both educational and challenging, while also creating strong bonds and creating chances that were never thought of before.

I'm standing because I think entrepreneurship and innovation in tech needs to happen in communities like ours, not just in corporate spaces.

I'm a Biomedical Engineering student, and I'm working on my own startup right now. When I started, I realized that the people who actually do things are just the ones who try. I reached out to professors about research gaps, applied for opportunities, and got a research internship at Stanford. It was not magic, it was just not being afraid to ask.

What I want to do is help other people in our society feel like they can do that too. I want to organize events where we actually hear from people building real things—founders, researchers, people who've taken risks. Not just networking for the sake of it.

More than anything, I want to build a culture where people feel like it's possible to pursue their ideas. Where they have connections, where they see others doing ambitious things, and where it does not feel impossible to try.

I think our society could be a place where people actually support each other in building things. That's what I want to create.

Hi everyone! My name is Ares, and I study Theoretical Physics. I’m excited to be running for Events Executive at UCL Entrepreneurs.

Over the past year, I’ve really enjoyed getting involved in the society, especially through hackathons and partner events. My greatest highlight was winning the Brain HacQ Hackathon organised through the society, which showed me how powerful these events can be for bringing together ambitious people and turning ideas into real projects.

If elected, I’d love to help organise engaging events and bridge the gap between casual attendees and locked-in founders, whether you’re just curious about startups and entrepreneurship or already building something. I’d also work more closely with the other officers to bring fresh event ideas so members have more opportunities to learn, collaborate and meet like-minded people. I’ve also taken on leadership roles before, both in school and outside, so I’m comfortable organising teams and helping ideas turn into well-run events that people genuinely enjoy.

Thanks for reading, and I’d really appreciate your vote! :)
