Almost 200 people descended on Malet Lambert School last week from across the UK and the world - even as far as South Africa - to celebrate enterprise education in Hull.
The Youth Enterprise Summit 2014, part of Humber Business Week, saw delegates from businesses, schools and politics come and enjoy speeches and presentations from the main players in enterprise education, alongside over 50 pupils from Malet Lambert who were specially invited to enjoy the event.
Regular contributor Ruth Badger, businesswoman and former contestant on The Apprentice, came to talk to the audience about her experience of Hull as a city of enterprise.
She said, "I am very proud to be connected with Hull. As a city, it breeds aspiration in young people and, in my opinion, has the best business community in the UK.
"Because of this, Hull is the only city I work with on enterprise. If I had been brought up here, I think I would have been a very different woman - the business support and mentoring available to young people is astounding.
"Hull is a city that does. It is a place that gives students self-belief and confidence, and that is crucial in driving entrepreneurs towards being successful."
Alongside Ruth Badger, a number of other speakers took to the stage to praise Hull, including Janet Coyle of Founders4Schools, Phil Batty from marketing company Force-7, Katie Norman of Lab Rascals, and young apprentices from fashion and business enterprise Bags Of Opportunity.
Among the businessmen and women, sat the very people the summit had come together to celebrate - the school children of Hull.
Primary schools Clifton and Victoria Dock confidently presented in front of their audience, both incorporating an element of performance into their speeches. Victoria Dock sang a song they had written about how enterprising their school is, and how it is ingrained into their everyday lives, while Clifton performed a sketch about how they made money from their business, in the guise of gangster rappers.
Newland School for Girls also made an appearance to talk about securing first place at the School's Enterprise Challenge at Global Entrepreneurship Week in Hull last year.
Their winning educational furniture design has now been made into a prototype by Hull manufacturer Sangwins, which the students proudly showed off at the event.
As the host for the event, Malet Lambert provided not just the venue, but also performers from our talented crop of music and drama students, and our very own speaker, Harry from Year 8.
Last year, Harry won the Badger's Sett Enterprise Challenge, with his business Hull's Top Trips. In the past six months he has worked with designers Engaging Education and Kit Hargreaves from The Level Scheme to create a prototype product and a website to help launch his game. He hopes to sell his Top Trips game in the lead up to Hull City of Culture 2017 and also sell his idea to other cities in the UK.
To round off the day, a question-and-answer session was held, with business professionals taking to the stage to field questions about enterprise education from the audience.
One of the panellists had made a very special trip from South Africa to visit the summit.
Selebogo Molefe, also known as Dr Lifesgud, founded The Hookup Dinner which provides entrepreneurs and start-ups a platform from which to promote their business and network with other professionals.
He made the 6000 mile trip to discover more about Hull's enterprising community, and was impressed with what he saw.
He said, "I believe the future is bright for events like this. It was well organised and very hospitable. I would love to replicate what Hull has done with enterprise education in my own country."
