Business leaders, council chiefs, and government ministers to gather for major economic summit hosted by Downtown in Business
Downtown in Business is inviting business owners, investors, developers, and public sector decision-makers to attend the Northern Power Towns Conference, a high-profile event dedicated to unlocking the economic potential of the North’s towns.
Taking place on Friday 11th July] in Warrington this one-day conference will bring together some of the most influential voices from across business, local government, and Westminster to discuss how towns and cities like Chester, Wigan, Warrington, Preston, Burnley, and Barrow can lead the next chapter of the levelling-up agenda.
Confirmed speakers include senior council leaders, regeneration experts, leading investors, and government ministers who will debate the critical challenges – and real opportunities – facing Northern towns, including:
· Attracting and retaining investment
· Building vibrant high streets and places people want to live and work
· Meeting housing and infrastructure needs
· Boosting skills, education, and employment
· Creating private-public partnerships that deliver
Frank McKenna, Chief Executive of Downtown in Business, said:
“This conference is about giving Northern towns a seat at the table. While our major cities rightly get attention, it’s the towns and second-tier cities that often hold the key to unlocking inclusive regional growth.
The Northern Power Towns Conference will be a unique opportunity for ambitious leaders from across sectors to come together, share ideas, and develop practical solutions that will help us build stronger, more prosperous local economies.”
Delegates will have the chance to engage directly with policy influencers, network with senior stakeholders, and be part of shaping a roadmap for economic renewal across the North.
Tickets are FREE but limited, and early registration is advised to secure a place.
