I had the chance to represent Meltwater Group in London last weekend with my colleague, Victoria, when we sponsored the National Student Enterprise Conference (NSEC) “Business NOT as Usual”, event arranged by the National Consortium of University Entrepreneurs (NACUE) and University College London (UCL).
