8.30am: Introduction from David Pearson, Chamber Director of Partnerships
8.40am: The Alternative Board interactive presentation

There’s still time to join us at our Annual Dinner
There are limited spaces remaining for the Chamber’s eagerly- anticipated Annual Dinner. Gadget Show host and
futurologist Jason Bradbury is one of the guest speakers at this year’s Chamber annual black-tie dinner. Being held just eight days before
the 29 March Brexit deadline, the other speaker will be a high-ranking politician who will, hopefully, be able to shed a little bit more light on what the economic future will be following the UK’s divorce from the EU.
The Annual Dinner is the pinnacle
of events organised by East Midlands Chamber (Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire), the British Chambers of Commerce Chamber of the Year Award winner. It takes place this year at Colwick Hall, Nottingham, from 6.30pm to 11pm on 21 March. The event is open to anybody.
Tickets are still available. Prices are £90+VAT for members or £120+VAT for non-members, with discounts for tables of ten.
The Chamber’s Annual Dinner is one of the standout regional business events of the year
