Enhanced format for 2008 - more effective networking, more choice
For 2008 we are taking it a stage further. A number of enhancements will ensure that this event is as relevant to those involved in small scale waterfront regeneration and development as those concerned with the largest mega-projects. The fact is that each has something to teach the other and this is how we plan to facilitate it:- Enhanced format. There will be a more going on at WaterfrontExpo 2008 than in previous events. In addition to the large scale case studies and presentations, there will be a wide range of smaller scale discussion groups and seminars covering a broad range of subjects enabling you to have your voice.
- Tailor the event to your precise needs. Easy to use networking technology will enable you to meet the people you want to meet, to attend those discussions and seminars directly relevant to your needs, and to visit those sites of most interest. What’s more, you’ll be able to organise it all in advance if you wish!
- Greater choice of topics. The range of topics and subject matter in Liverpool will ensure that whether you’re interest lies in the largest waterfront development projects - or the smallest – you will learn something to your advantage.
- Investment focused discussions, presentations, and site visits. If you’re seeking investment for your own project then here’s your opportunity to meet the professionals and learn at first hand how projects can best be presented to attract the finance they need to see the light of day.
