Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak is heading to Birmingham as part of an event to encourage enterprise.

Mr Wozniak, who built the first Macintosh computer in a garage, alongside his friend Steve Jobs, is appearing at the National Entrepreneurs Convention, at Birmingham’s ICC.

The Silicon Valley philanthropist will be speaking to more than 1,500 business owners at the event on September 21 and 22, sharing the lessons learned during his thirty-year career.

His time spent building one of the world’s most influential brands saw huge triumphs and big mistakes – all of which he’s going to share at the National Entrepreneur’s Convention.

The Convention, which is in its final year, is organised by multi-million pound Solihull business owner Nigel Botterill. Attendees at the two-day event will get to hear success stories from some of the worlds’ biggest business brains, as well as network with fellow entrepreneurs.

Speaking of Mr Wozniak’s appearance at the National Entrepreneur’s Convention, Mr Botterill said:

“I can’t wait to put some questions to the guy who started what is now the world’s biggest company from his parent’s garage.”
