Brits are being encouraged to take part in the UK's biggest ideas exchange.
The event, called Speednetwork the Nation, is a way of encouraging potential entrepreneurs of any age to share ideas, practice pitching and make contacts.
Campaign organisers are looking for 1,000 speednetworking events to take place between 12pm and 1pm on November 17 as part of Enterprise Week.
The events can be held anywhere from schools, colleges, or workplaces, through to pubs or shopping centres.
Organisers will be awarding £1,000 in cash as prizes for the most innovative and creative events and to those held in the most unusual places.
