Keynote speakers

at International Confex this year will address the following topics; 

On Day one, “How

it went so wrong for the Government and the economy in 2009” presented by

Martin Bell, one of the most highly regarded names in British television

journalism. Having had a number of career landmarks from BBC Correspondent,

independent MP and UNICEF ambassador, Martin Bell takes a closer look at the

state of the economy over the last twelve months, the lessons learnt and how to

apply these to businesses. 

On day two editor

of the legendary London

magazine Time Out, regular contributor to radio & TV and former Heat

Magazine & Smash Hits editor, Mark Frith will draw on his extensive media

experience to offer advice on reinventing your product, getting by on meagre

resources and using the power of celebrity to leverage your brand. 

And

finally on day three Jo Fairley co-founder of Green & Black’s shares her

knowledge and experience on entrepreneurialism, growing a small business and

the importance of corporate responsibility. Fairley will also use her

experiences to draw on more traditional messages of marketing and branding in a

demanding environment.
