BUSINESS EXCHANGE EVENT

3rd & 4th March 2010 - Can you afford not to attend this free event?

The region’s business community will be told to challenge convention by some of the UK’s leading thinkers at the free to attend Business Link event, Business Exchange North East, held at Newcastle Racecourse, March 3rd & 4th 2010.

We are delighted to announce keynote speakers for this year’s event will include the man whose job it is to make Space Travel a reality and a Cambridge Researcher who argues that ageing is merely a disease which can be avoided.

Innovate and Inspire

The purpose of Business Exchange North East is to innovate and inspire, and who could achieve this better than Jonathan Firth, Director of Projects and Operations at Virgin Galactic. Jonathan will be giving an intriguing insight into the newly developing industry of making commercially manned space travel reality.

Challenge your Thinking

Dr Aubrey de Grey is a biomedical gerontologist based in Cambridge , UK who claims he has drawn a roadmap to defeat biological ageing. He provocatively proposes that the first human beings who will live to 1,000 years old have already been born.

Gain Competitive Advantage

Delegates can also get marketing advice from Mark Palmer, Global Brand Director of Green & Black’s organic chocolate, who repositioned the company resulting in turnover growth from £4m to £40m.

Achieve

The Durham Business School Leadership Lounge will offer a dedicated area for senior-level leadership and management training delivered by experts from one of Europe’s leading business schools.

A host of high profile speakers, seminars and workshops will feature over both days of the event and is free to attend for all business based in North East England.
