Creating And Nurturing The Entrepreneurs Of Today As The Success Stories Of Tomorrow

Wealth Intelligence Academy (WIA) the UK's most respected provider of educational courses in the fields of property, investment, entrepreneurship and sound financial management, opens its doors to the public for the first time this January 2009 – at the third Wealth Club Conference in London, Heathrow, supported by Clarins and in aid of Make-A-Wish Foundation® UK.

Keynote conference speakers are scheduled to include Dragon's Den impresario, Mr James Caan, talking on entrepreneurship and the power of property within the overall investment mix, particularly in the current market; together with internet specialist Daniel Wagner on the importance of internet marketing, Kevin Green, former WIA student turned mentor/trainer/philanthropist, on the mindset for success and internationally lauded trader, Alistair Crooks, explaining the online trading process (supporting the recent UK launch of the exclusive WIA brand in the UK, Teach Me To Trade™).

Key dignitaries scheduled to attend the weekend's proceedings include the recently appointed new CEO of Whitney Information Network, Inc. in the USA, Mr Chuck Peck; Mr Duncan Bannatyne, also of Dragon's Den fame; Gill Fielding, one of the country's favourite Channel 4 'Secret Millionaires' and one of WIA' valued speakers and mentors; Martin Roberts, presenter of BBC's 'Homes Under the Hammer' and 'How To Survive The Property Crisis', another key WIA speaker; Mr Iain Edwards, WIA UK Managing Director, as well as other key WIA personnel from around the globe, 300+ advanced WIA students plus UK media.

According to James Caan, scheduled keynote speaker at the 3rd WIA Conference in London:-

“I am delighted to have been asked to speak at the third WIA Conference, not only because this weekend is dedicated to supporting an incredibly worthy cause, Make-A-Wish Foundation® UK, but also due to the inspired nature of the WIA audience of students. There is great synergy between my own approach to business and the ethos and principles adopted by the WIA Family: give back to others in order to go forward, regardless of your area of business specialisation.

“Furthermore, I am keen to present to a room full of 300+ entrepreneurs, many of whom have chosen property as their vehicle of choice for creating financial independence. For WIA students it is one of the key potential routes to financial freedom – maybe I'll pick up some tips from the students! Today, more than ever, it is imperative that we educate ourselves and our children about sound money rather than debt management and that we take a responsible attitude, looking forward to the security of our future,” he added.
