Over 450 delegates have already registered to attend this year’s half-day conference from 8.30am to 1:30pm on Friday 1 December 2017 at the Chateau Impney, Droitwich.
The Conference will be hosted by the BBC Midlands Today’s main presenter, Mary Rhodes, who will be joined by keynote speaker and technology expert Dave Coplin. Other high profile speakers include Marcus Burton – Non-Executive Director at Yamazaki Mazak, Keith Robson – Chief Operating Officer at University of Surrey and three previous winners of the Worcestershire Apprenticeship Awards.
#WLEP17 is the perfect opportunity for businesses and partners of all sectors and sizes to hear the latest priorities for the future, ensuring Worcestershire’s long-term prosperity for all of its community. Organisations will also be on hand to offer guidance on Worcestershire’s latest connected, creative and dynamic projects, with opportunities to meet the experts throughout the morning and during the networking lunch.
Businesses are also invited to attend the ‘Healthy Business Breakfast’, sponsored by Bishop Fleming, which is taking place from 7:30-8:30am on the morning of the Conference. High profile business figures in health-related industries, including Richard Barnes – Inventor of the Body Volume Index, Peter Hunt – Product and Project Manager of Boardman Bikes and Andy Swain – National Sales manager at Hydro Industry Direct, will discuss some of the county’s latest innovations in health.
Mark Stansfeld, Chair of Worcestershire Local Enterprise Partnership, said: “I am looking forward to meeting with businesses and partners to celebrate another hugely successful year for the local community and to look ahead to the county’s future with positivity and enthusiasm.
“We have recently seen that Worcestershire is leading the way in terms of growing workforce productivity and growing higher level workforce skills and we have many exciting projects to showcase to attendees including digital connectivity, skills and business creativity, all of which will help to benefit all parts of the Worcestershire community. We have already received over 450 registrations and, with a limited number of spaces remaining, I would urge all interested parties to register as soon as possible.”
