Much has happened with the Northern Powerhouse in the past year and the 2017 event will build on the success of the 2016 event with a new and ambitious programme that reflects the progress being made by public and private stakeholders across the north of England to grow the economy, as well as meeting the requirement of northern businesses to identify new trading prospects.

The focus of the first conference and exhibition was very much about defining the concept of the Northern Powerhouse, while this second gathering will look at how business is taking the initiative forward to create the wealth the region needs. The cities of the north are starting to take more responsibility for driving their local economies with many of the issues and views being discussed by delegates at the 2016 event already drawing attention from the UK government.

The UK Northern Powerhouse International Conference and Exhibition 2017 will offer high-level interactive debates, interviews, workshops and exhibits – all geared to make the North of England a better place to do business.

High-profile and influential speakers will share their insights at he conference on the challenges of winning in a global marketplace, improving the quality of life in local communities and the potential benefits of commercial collaboration.

Speakers at the event include Andrew Percy MP, minister for the Northern Powerhouse, Lord Kerslake, president of the Local Government Association, the chief executives of Liverpool, Newcastle, Sheffield and Hull city councils, former business secretary Lord Jim O’Neill will be in conversation with John Humphrys, David Brown, chief executive of Transport for the North, Jim O’Sullivan, CEO of Highways England, Charlie Cornish, chief executive of Manchester Airports Group and many more including client leaders from across infrastructure and leading government officials.
