This year’s Growing Gloucestershire Conference takes place at Pittville Pump Rooms on Tuesday, October 15 , with a packed day of talks, seminars and networking opportunities running from 8.15am through to 3pm. Sustainability will look at how to build a business that thrives and grows as well as environmental and social sustainability. Technology – on the impact of changes in technology on your business and how to harness these. Connectivity is the critical third component to success – between businesses, networks and along the value chain. The first key-note speaker has already been confirmed with Peter Cheese, CEO of the Chartered Institute of Professional Development booked in for the opening slot. Other speakers will be confirmed in due course, but all will focus around the three key areas of sustainability, connectivity and technology. Growing Gloucestershire is the result of collaboration between a number of professional institutes, all of whom are members of Gloucestershire Professionals.

Since inception 15 years ago, the Conference has gained a reputation as a must-attend event in the Gloucestershire business calendar. The fast pace and energetic nature of the day allows all the attendees to gain insight and knowledge on areas that will be crucial to the success of their enterprises. Conference chairman Jonathan Nicholls said:“The more we connect and work together, the better for all of us and the better for our communities. “Research has shown that to survive in our rapidly changing world we need to be expert in our field and know a little bit about everything else.This is called the ‘T’. “The intention of the conference is to provide the crossbar to the ‘T’.That is to provide attendees with the opportunity to broaden their knowledge in areas that are not their core areas. “Business is all about people and what Growing Gloucestershire does is put like-minded people together and gives them the chance to broaden and share their knowledge.” Tickets for the Growing Gloucestershire Conference are now available.
