Downtown Manchester in Business is delighted to announce that it will be hosting ‘live’ events from September.

Downtown Manchester in Business is delighted to announce that it will be hosting ‘live’ events from September.

The exclusive ‘Invite Only’ series of events will launch with a ‘Leaders Lunch with Sir Richard Leese’.

DIB Chief Executive, Frank McKenna said that he can’t wait to start to experience face-to-face meetings again.

“We have organised around 100 Zoom webinars since lockdown in mid-March. As much as those get togethers have been useful, they are no substitute for live events. I have missed being able to interact with people, share thoughts and ideas and get that ‘live’ events buzz and I know our members have too.

“We want to play our part in signalling to the business community that lockdown is now over. We need to be encouraging businesses back into our cities and back into our wonderful hospitality establishments.

“Of course, we will ensure that all the necessary safety measures are in place; and we will be limiting the numbers at our events. Nonetheless, we will be creating that special atmosphere that DIB generates at its events, using some great venues, with contributions from top class speakers.”
