Business Teacher National Conference 2009 - Speaker Announcement
Recommend on Google+
I’m delighted that one of the UK’s foremost entrepreneurs has agreed to lead a session at the 2009 Business Teacher National Conference…
Mike Southon is the man in question. A brief profile of Mike is provided below.
Mike is the first of several high profile speakers that we are lining up for the 2009 Business Teacher National Conference which promises to be our best-ever!
We are returning to the British Library Conference Auditorium, St Pancras for a hat-trick of visits at such a superb venue. Even better, we have frozen the delegate prices at 2007 levels and are also offering a “departmental deal”. This is a great value way for colleagues to attend the premier CPD event for business teachers together!
