Regional event: Inaugural Yorkshire forum
Sponsored by Bradford & Bingley
29th January 2008, 10:00am - 2:00pm, Bradford
Regional forum events provide up-to-date information on a specific theme. They enable members to network, share best practice and make contact with organisations in their area. The theme of each event reflects feedback from members who have attended one of our previous regional forum events. Members will receive an invitation with further details of the content nearer to the time of each event.
We were proud to launch our first ever Yorkshire forum, bringing together members throughout Yorkshire and the surrounding regions. Our first event, kindly being sponsored by Bradford & Bingley, at Bradford City Football Club.
