The chairman of the Institute of Directors (IoD) will speak about becoming a successful leader at an event this week.
Ian Dormer – who was born in Leicestershire and runs an engineering business in the North East – will be among the speakers at the East Midlands Young Directors' Forum annual convention on Friday, at the Radisson Blue Hotel, at East Midlands Airport.
The convention provides an opportunity for entrepreneurs and directors to gain industry leaders' insight into significant business issues.
Other speakers include Dean Walton, founder of celebrity mask business Mask-arade, and Lucy Herreras-Griffiths, of programme developer Kuku Apps, in Mansfield, who has created apps for organisations including the NHS, University of Leicester and National Space Centre.
Steve Walker, chairman of the IoD East Midlands Young Directors' Forum, said: "Last year's convention was fantastic.
"It is so important to cultivate and nurture the young directors of our region, by providing a supportive network and advice and insight."
