“Engaging with social media for fun and career success”.  Our three guest
speakers will relate their own experiences using social media both at work
and at home.

specialists in the Business & IP Centre in the British Library. They
provide information and advice to inventors, business start-ups and growth
companies. Neil started his blog In through the
outfield<http://ninfield.wordpress.com/>in 2007, and has published
over 500 posts. The blog currently gets around
400 visits a day. Prior to joining the British Library Neil spent 16 years
working in the pensions investment world in the City of London managing
business information services.
