The Coventry and Warwickshire Local Enterprise Partnership is holding its first regional conference at the venue to outline what progress it has made and to hear more about business priorities.

Mark Prisk, Minister of State for Business and Enterprise (pictured), is the keynote speaker at the event on Friday, October 14 and will be joined by John Edwards, the global brand director of Land Rover.

The day will also include visits from MPs, business panels, business speakers and an address from local authority leaders. Anyone interested in attending the free event should contact roger.dowthwaite@cwlep.com
