Elizabeth Varley
Full steam ahead on my new business. SHINE was my last gig for others before focusing solely on TechHub, so it’s an exciting time! I had forgotten what it’s like to make that leap, so well done to everyone else who’s making that jump and being a full time entrepreneur! 2 years ago

Elizabeth Varley is a communicator and entrepreneur with a background in editorial, content and events. In 2001 she set up Online Content UK as an organisation for online content professionals running an industry-focused community and regular events. OCUK quickly became a commercial editorial and content agency working with clients as diverse as Amazon, PricewaterhouseCoopers and AKQA.
Elizabeth is involved in the digital and content sectors and speaks at industry events. She has previously been a judge of the Association of Online Publishers Awards, the Information Management Awards and sat on the London College of Communication’s Digital Media Advisory Forum. Elizabeth is committed to supporting the wider industry and was one of the founding steering committee members of the DigitalEve women in technology organisation in the UK. She was also a consultant on ITbeat with e-skills UK – a project to encourage girls to get involved in IT and new media.
TechHub is Elizabeth’s new business: a new and exciting project to create a physical space for tech start-ups in London reaching out to entrepreneurs across the UK, Europe and the USA.

She heads the team for Twestival London which had over 700 people at the social-media-facilitated charity event in September 2009. Last February, 200 cities around the world hosted events raising over $250K for clean water projects in Africa, and March 25th 2010 will see hundreds of cities participating in the next Twestival Global, raising money for the education projects of Concern Worldwide in the world’s poorest communities.
