Economics Conference - 9 November 2009
A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned that we had the chance to go to the Students & Teachers of Economics in Scotland Annual Conference. This is a full day event at the Glasgow Science Centre and although we don't do Economics, I felt some of the content could be very useful from a business point of view.
Quite a lot of you said you wanted to go but we have had to restrict numbers to 10. Therefore, to ensure only those with a genuine interest don't miss out, we are going to have a little competition.
First of all, click on the link below and have a look at what the day entails. Then you must write a short but detailed explanation as to why you should go to the event. The first 10 people who respond who we feel would genuinely benefit get to go.

You can either post your response here or write it and hand it directly to me.
Speak to me if you have any questions.
