The event aims to report annually on Sunderland's regeneration journey and provide opportunities for sharing knowledge and best practice with other cities and regions as part of the two-day programme every October.
Mark Easton, Home Editor at the BBC expertly guides the event with some 20 keynote speakers and panellists to a conference audience of 150+ industry leaders each day.
They debate Sunderland’s transformation in the context of Government’s growth ambitions and particularly commitment to housing delivery, planning reform, community building, infrastructure and the skills needed for the future workforce.
