MADE's unique combination of networking opportunities, panel discussions, exhibitions and industry visionary speakers is expected to attract over 3,000 participants. The festival will feature 35 high-profile speakers, including David Richards, along with Peter Jones, Doug Richard, Wayne Hemingway and Lord Bilimoria.

"WANdisco is proud to sponsor the UK's largest entrepreneur festival," said David Richards. "After WANdisco's successful flotation on AIM earlier this year I'm also looking forward to sharing our experiences with fellow entrepreneurs at the event."

"WANdisco is a fantastic company," said Michael Hayman, the Chairman of MADE. "With global operations in Silicon Valley and a recent AIM flotation, we are delighted that WANdisco is lending its support to this year's MADE: The Entrepreneur Festival. MADE provides the opportunity for business leaders to share ideas, meet investors, mentor, and influence future policy -- it's an event not to be missed!"
