DESCRIPTION:\nClick here to buy ticketsSell tickets online with Ticket Tailor ( https://www.tickettailor.com?rf=wdg_245943 )				\n		\nWith devolution entering a new and decisive phase, Downtown in Business (DIB) has announced its sixth annual Talking ‘Bout Regeneration national conference that will explore how political leadership, regeneration and business partnership can deliver the next generation of economic growth.\n\nThe event will focus on placemaking, regeneration and politics and will take place on Wednesday 23rd September 2026 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Liverpool – the week before Labour’s annual party conference – bringing together senior decision-makers, metro mayors, council leaders, investors, developers and senior business figures from across the country.\n\nThe conference comes at a pivotal moment for the country. As the new Government accelerates its devolution agenda, expands the powers of England’s regions and places housing and infrastructure at the centre of its growth strategy, the relationship between politics, place and private enterprise has never been more important.\n\nThe event will ask one central question:\n\nHow do we turn greater local powers into better homes, stronger communities, more productive economies and places where businesses can thrive?\n\nDiscussions will examine the opportunities created by a new wave of devolution, ambitious housebuilding targets, planning reform, transport investment and public-private partnerships, while considering what national government must do to enable local leaders to deliver.\n\nThe programme will include keynote speeches and panel discussions featuring influential voices from politics, business and regeneration.\n\nConference themes will include:\n\n\nThe next chapter of English devolution and what it means for business.\n\nDelivering ambitious housing targets while creating great places to live.\n\nRegeneration that drives inclusive economic growth.\n\nThe future of high streets, town centres and city centres.\n\nPlanning reform, infrastructure and investment.\n\nHow public-private partnerships can unlock long-term prosperity.\n\nThe role of culture, hospitality and the visitor economy in successful placemaking.\n\n\nA full speaker line-up will be announced shortly, with invitations being extended to ministers, metro mayors, local authority leaders, developers, investors and business leaders from across the country.\n\nThe conference is expected to attract senior decision-makers and will provide a platform for fresh thinking on the policies and partnerships needed to deliver sustainable growth throughout the UK.\n\nDIB Strategic partners are entitled to TWO complimentary tickets for this event.
