It's the Stupid Economy
3 December 2009
London
Key note speaker is Vince Cable, MP. Delegates will hear from experienced practitioners about creating strategies for building resilient and sustainable local economies. The conference provides an opportunity to explore practical ideas for making local economies support communities and the environment through the recession and beyond, and to the role of voluntary and community groups in achieving this.
The conference will be of interest to local third sector and public sector organisations as well as anyone involved in national strategic policy making in communities, local government and local economies.
