Take a step back from the daily rush and join the CLES Open Hour – a relaxed, open space for people across the UK working in local economic development to:
- Connect with like-minded peers
- Hear the latest from Sarah, Tom and the CLES team
- Make sense of policy changes and emerging ideas
- Create space to think, reflect and recharge.
In an ever-changing landscape, this is your opportunity to pause, share and build valuable connections. Every month we’ll review an emerging topic and this month we’re looking at procurement, the Spending Review and the power to shape local economies. We’ll discuss what the new Procurement Act means for places and how procurement can be a driver of economic change with real-world insights from across the UK and practical ideas for implementation. We’ll also look ahead to the government’s Spending Review and consider what it could mean for local economic development and how we can prepare.
Join us for this free, fun and informal session.
