I'm pleased to announce that our new business is finally ready for launch. Conference Team is a brand new division of Networx Corporate Communications Ltd and has been set up to produce public policy conferences to keep the public and private sector informed about important, emerging issues and trends.

Our first conference is on 1 December and looks at 'Promoting Diversity in the Workplace'. We are honoured to have Fiona Mactaggart MP, the Home Office minister for race equality as our first keynote speaker. You can book places online and if you book before the middle of September you benefit from an 'early bird' discount.

"Dog shoots man" - even better than "Man bites dog".

Thanks to Canadian communications expert Peter O'Malley for this.

This is from a PR email list that I'm on:

I wonder if this group still exists? Is there life out there?

If you are a member of a PR Association, you may have received an invitation
to take part in a global survey on PR measurement. The results will be
published at the Measurement Summit in NH, USA in a couple of weeks.

Replies are coming in from all over the world.

If you have not received an invitation and would like to participate, please
go to  www.benchpoint.com/PR

The survey includes reactions from clients or senior people in your
organisation, so you might consider forwarding this invitation to them as
well.

Best wishes to all - if there's anyone there!
