This in person conference will bring experience and expertise from across the UK and beyond, focusing on the design and delivery of Challenge Funds. The conference aims to explore a key question facing many cities, regions and countries – is Challenge-led innovation delivering on the promise?
To answer this question, the conference will include a deep dive into process delivery, capturing knowledge and experiences from Wales, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Basque Country.
Expect animated panel discussions as we compare and contrast process delivery with representatives from different countries and hear what lessons have been learned to date.
You will also have an opportunity to share your views and experiences of sector challenges within one of our three breakout sessions:
We will share ideas, hear how others have overcome similar problems and discuss the thorny question about how to disseminate good practice.
After a full day of knowledge exchange, we are sure that there will be plenty of interesting conversations to be had – so why not keep the discussion going and join us for a drinks reception and hot fork buffet after the plenary?
