January events of interest...
A fair few relevant events happening over the next couple of weeks, I think I've included most of them. Notable inclusions are an event by the Adam Smith Institute's excellent Next Generation, a group which:
"serves as a meeting point for the next generation of leaders in business, academe, the professions, journalism and public policy."
...and a life coaching event at CCHQ aimed at broadening appeal amongst young professionals.
