Creating and Exchanging Knowledge
MMU Introduces 'Tea With The Prof', a series of open discussions on the theme of innovation and enterprise.
When you attend a Tea with The ProfTM event you can expect to go home with at least 5 new contacts, be challenged in the way you see the world and especially your own company and those of your business, and with some new ideas based on our research.
Each event has three steps, Network, Challenge and Learn. - not always in that order! Don't take my word for it, see the video and come along to one of the sessions!
