Seminars LEAP arranges seminars on various aspects of setting up your Company, electing directors, choosing the product, marketing and selling and accounting. To make the most of your LEAP experience we strongly recommend that as many members of the company as possible attend the seminars. There will be Finance seminars in October [hands-on workshop Oct 12th] and again in February. The Finance Director should attend, probably together with the Managing Director. Trade Fairs Many of the schools arrange Trading opportunities for their own companies, and allow other schools to attend. The Corn Exchange, Harewood Craft Fair and other venues in Leeds often allow Companies to exhibit and trade. LEAP arranges Trade Fairs in December and February, this year they are at The Merrion Centre, which proved a marvelous opportunity last year. Competitions The Companies are judged for their Marketing and Trade Stand at the LEAP Trade Fairs. This is then used as one of the feeder competitions for the Finals [the best 6 companies in the Marketing, Presentation and Report Competitions are invited to the Finals]. See Competitions for more details. Annual Awards This is the event where we announce the winners of the various competitions and "showcase" some of the Presentations to invited VIPs and volunteers.
