Today the Nott Tuesday team is excited to announce the identity of the speaker for the inaugural Nott Tuesday networking event on the 10th February 2009.

Ewan MacLeod, influential tech blogger and editor in chief at Mobile Industry Review, http: www.mobileindustryreview.com , will be talking to the attendees on the topic How to get your message heard .

Ewan said My work on MIR, Mobile Industry Review means I spend my time working closely with tech companies, PR, journalists and investors.

It can be very noisy so getting your message heard is difficult.

I m really excited to have this opportunity to share some of what I ve learned over the years.

Too much of what I write about and hear is London centric, the balance definitely needs redressing.

Adam Bird, Nott Tuesday founder, said: Ewan is a highly respected figure in the technology industry as well as being a first rate speaker. I m very excited that he s agreed to speak at our first event.

He has the power to hold a room like few others and is never afraid of saying it how it is.

The first Nott Tuesday event will be held in central Nottingham on Tuesday 10th February 2009.
