Is it worth blogging for business? This article seems to think so, although I'm not sure I agree with the daily updates instruction!

Thanks again!

A quick post to say thanks for your support with our event at View from the Top, photos to follow.

If you weren't able to make the awards ceremony and networking lunch and still want to see what we've been up to, take a trip up to the 4th Floor of Waterstones and look at our exhibition. We'll be there until Monday 24th.

Oh and for those of you who took our marketing seminar with Russell Kennard, remember his willow pattern plate exercise??? I think this takes it one step further!

Celebration of SPEED at Nottingham Trent University

To mark the final months of the SPEED (Student Placements for Entrepreneurs in Education) programme, Nottingham Trent University’s business incubation unit, The Hive, is holding an exhibition of SPEED businesses and projects.

The revolutionary programme has provided students taking a placement year the opportunity to set up and run their own business in The Hive, instead of pursuing a standard industrial work-placement scheme.

The event will take place during Enterprise Week at the View from the Top Gallery on the top floor of Waterstones Bookstore in Nottingham, from Wednesday, November 19 to Sunday, November 23.


We are really looking forward to meeting 'The Ideas Man' Shed Simove at our special event on Thursday 20th November, and also at Thirsty Thursday at Oceana at 6.30. Why not meet us there and network, learn and be inspired!

EXPO 2008

19 NOVEMBER 2008

EPIC CENTRE, LINCOLNSHIRE SHOWGROUND

EXPO in the East Midlands is an annual free event focusing on sustainability. It provides an opportunity to see how we can achieve our vision of a vibrant economy that values all our people and protects and enhances our environment locally and globally.

This year we are focusing on Climate Change and the ways that as a region we can respond innovatively to this serious challenge. The EXPO will provide a showcase of solutions for reducing our carbon impact of our buildings, our use of energy and resources, the goods and services we consume and the ways we move around. It provides a unique opportunity for networking across many sectors and to tour round the Epic Centre, the UK's largest 'green' conference and events centre.

Meetings at this year's EXPO include a Green Infrastructure Network event, Building Climate Friendly Communities workshop and a RSS seminar on low carbon design and renewable energy.
