The morning will feature presentations and a panel discussion on regeneration hotspots with particular focus on Crewe, Chester, Warrington and the rural economy. Speakers will include Matt Crompton, joint managing director of Muse Developments. Muse was recently appointed by Warrington council to transform a large part of the town centre. There will also be an update on the One City Plan by Rita Waters, chief executive of Chester Renaissance.
From Cheshire East Council, Cllr Jamie Macrae, prosperity portfolio holder and John Nicholson, strategic director of places and organisational capacity will present on the regeneration priority area of Crewe.

Place's seminars will be hosted in association with Chester-based law firm Aaron & Partners, Pochin and Envirolink Northwest.
The wider expo will feature a showcase exhibition hall with stands hosted by major employers in and around the region such as Bentley Motors and Manchester Airport. There will be further seminars delivered by organisations such as the National Apprenticeships Service and the Manufacturing Institute.
