Launch event
Invent your entrepreneurial self.
Thursday 3 December 2026 · 4.30–6.30pm · Oxford North
Who is this for?
An event for founders in the thick of it. For entrepreneurial people. For anyone interested in university innovation. And for everyone who cares about the future of human agency.
...And for people who like hanging out with Katy Tuncer!
What’s this event about?
Work as we know it is falling over. Employment, institutions and corporations are all being rewritten, and over the next 50 years, entrepreneurism will become the foundation of human leadership.
So what will you build? A new venture? A bolder way of working inside an organisation that must change or die? Or, as a parent, teacher, professor or leader, shape a world where the next generation of entrepreneurs can thrive?
Join Katy Tuncer at Oxford North on 3rd December as she shares insights from her new book, HUMANUP, and signs Advance Reader Copies.
Katy’s research points to the real unlock for entrepreneurial success: mindset. With the overwhelming temptation to hand decisions over to AI, we must overcome dated societal norms and dysfunctional mindsets, and hang on to human autonomy. Join like-minded guests for a guided exploration of what works, and what doesn’t, in the UK’s innovation hubs.
What’s on
- Keynote by Katy
- Panel: tips and stories from today’s Oxford entrepreneurs
- Signing of Advance Reader Copies of HUMANUP
