Bringing together business leaders from across the East Midlands, this is the only conference that focuses on the economic performance and prospects for the region.
A series of keynote speakers and expert panels will examine the latest research and projections for the regional and national economy in the run-up to the UK leaving the European Union on 29 March 2019.
With strong regional performance continuing to take place against a backdrop of Brexit negotiations and political instability, this event will consider how to enhance the competitiveness of East Midlands businesses, and the political and economic levers that can be used to support them.
This conference seeks to send Westminster some compelling messages about infrastructure, business support and Brexit priorities on behalf of the regional business community in order to sustain the region’s long-term economic vitality.
