The line-up for our autumn Economics conference has now been finalised
and it promises to be a tremendous event for economics teachers wanting
fresh and practical ideas for their classroom. The superb Moller Centre is
the venue for this one-day conference. Delegates are encouraged to bring
their laptops along for our ‘wired event’ in which an experienced panel of
passionate educators will be offering innovative ideas, tips and tricks
for delivering high quality Economics teaching and promoting your
department.
We are also delighted that Hamish McRae has agreed to make the keynote
presentation. Hamish is the principal economic commentator of “The
Independent” and “The Independent on Sunday” and was recently named
Business Commentator of the Year 2007.
