Across Greater Manchester, towns are trying to reinvent themselves for a post-retail world. Doing so requires a proactive local authority with a clear vision, alongside a willing and collaborative private sector.

At this breakfast conference, delivered in collaboration with Bolton Council and Clear Futures, attendees will hear from the companies driving change in the town and gain a better understanding of the principles underpinning that transformation.

Partnerships between the public and private sector are vital for unlocking land and opportunities in towns like Bolton – this event will get under the skin of those partnerships and find out what makes a good one.

The event will run from 8am to 11:30am at The Wellsprings in Bolton on Tuesday 24 September. It will include a mix of networking, presentations and panel discussions. Breakfast is also included.

Tickets are free but you must register your interest to attend. You will be contacted by the Place North West events team to confirm if your registration is successful. Please note we can only accept two people per company.
