We are looking for interested organisations and venues that would like to work with us on delivering these two courses to their audience.

Both courses are delivered on one day – with Linkedin in the morning and Twitter in the afternoon. Because of the format of the day, it will work with an audience numbers starting at 25 people up to as many as 200.
