Held in association with the Dorset Business Alliance, speakers include Jim Stewart – chair of Dorset Local Enterprise Partnership, Nigel Jump – Professor of Regional Economic Development at Bournemouth University, Conor Burns MP and Ian Girling – chief executive of Dorset Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
Jim Stewart, chair of Dorset Local Enterprise Partnership said:
“Dorset is at an exciting stage of economic development and change. Our business conference provides the chance to debate local priorities, issues, asset capitalisation, productivity and outlook for the region. We want to hear from businesses from across the county – large or small, new or established – about the key challenges and opportunities they face. We want to capture their views on shaping Dorset’s future and how we can improve our support to help grow the local economy.
“Our free conference is set to be a lively and stimulating business event – I encourage Dorset’s businesses to attend.”
