This should be fun! Rory Sutherland, Vice-Chairman of the Ogilvy Group UK, has agreed to join us as one of the speakers at the 2011 Economics Teacher National Conference at the British Library on Wednesday 29 June 2011. Rory is a passionate and gifted communicator who has specialised in analysing how ideas drawn from behavioural economics can be harnessed in marketing and in developing public policy. His two TED talks (Life Lessons from an Ad Man and Sweating the Small Stuff) have fast become legendary on the internet and a great hit with Economics teachers and students alike. Not to be missed!
