Convention of the North with NP11

This event is on 13 September 2019 9:00am

The Convention of the North and NP11 group of Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs), with support from Government, are bringing together the North’s political, business, community and academic leaders, along with young people’s groups for a one-day event around a common agenda for the future of the North, representing 16 million people.

Hosted on the day by broadcaster Steph McGovern, this will bring together influential bodies such as the N8 research partnership, the People’s Powerhouse, Northern Power Women, and leading think-tanks such as IPPR North and the Northern Powerhouse Partnership, and young people from across the North to set out their vision for the North’s future, and how current leaders need to work together to achieve it.

ICC Head of Research and AHRC Leadership Fellow Kerry Wilson is attending the event upon invitation from the Head of the Northern Powerhouse at the Cities and Local Growth Unit.
