IED Events
The UK Economic Development Conference 2009
"TURNING THE TIDE - Building a Smarter Economic Future"
7-8 October at the Royal Bath Hotel, Bournemouth
The IED Conference is the place to catch up on new and forthcoming policy developments!
What drives economic regeneration and development; what is the balance between meeting immediate needs, anticipating adverse and positive change and exploiting opportunities? How do you resolve ambiguities within and between different national policy objectives, investment and resource allocation decisions and delivery practices, especially at local level where managing the holistic approach in implementation has proved difficult?
You can't afford to miss it!
