Our friends at Brunel University are hosting a one day exploration of brands and brand engagement within the digital economy, funded by the Horizon Digital Economy Research Institute. It is on Tuesday, 28th February 2012. To confirm your interest, email horizon@brunel.ac.uk with your name, organisation and contact details or visit their blog.

MEX and Brunel have been working together for some years to build links between student designers and the international MEX community of user experience practitioners. I am always impressed by the quality of the students’ contribution and by the university’s industry partnership events. Recommended.
