Grow: Economic Summit

Following the success of last year's conference, Unlocking Economic Growth, our second annual Economic Development conference will focus on successful business journeys and innovative business models. This years conference will take place on Tuesday 11 February 2020 at the Clandeboye Lodge Hotel.

Wendy Austin will compère this flagship conference that will explore successful business journeys and innovative business models that have become recognised brands.

It will also highlight the importance of integrating issues such as sustainability and innovation into core business strategy to achieve reduced costs, lower risk, and new development opportunities.

Delegates will hear from three keynote speakers throughout the day. The day will also feature interactive breakout sessions where delegates can choose four topics and join conversations with industry experts. These sessions will give participants the opportunity to share and discuss a range of business issues pertinent to the local SME economy. These conversations will also feed into the Q&A session at the end of the day.
