Social networking for businessThis is a rather late announcement but I’m delighted to share that I’ll be speaking at the Creative Industries Development Service (CIDS) event at Stockport Art Gallery this evening.

CIDS are a highly respected and important part of the creative industries in the North West and are behind some stellar events.  Tonight’s is no exception.

Here’s a synopsis from the Creative Times website:

“This event will be an exploration of the impacts and importance of online social networking .
