The two-day programme consisted of twenty-one topics and each speaker was given thirty minutes per topic. Topics discussed at the seminar were all pertinent to the contemporary challenges of establishing a successful business in the design industry and included tips on building your brand, improving your online reputation, managing and building your networks and making the media work for you. Of the many informative sessions and interesting discussions held over the course of the seminar, some of my highlights included: What will I find if I Google you?
