Executive Director's Introduction

Building on the success of our anniversary year in 2007, we have put together another interesting and engaging programme again this year.

Each year we encourage feedback from our membership, incorporating their ideas and ensuring they feel that they have an invaluable opportunity to meet with a range of guests and speakers in a variety of formats, encompassing an ever increasing range of topics.

The success of the Brussels delegation, has ensured a two-day conference in Brussels will be repeated while annual events that always gain good feedback – i.e.: the financial business breakfast, will be a main event for the programme.

In addition to the regular programme, 2008 will see an additional ‘Sector Programme’ to run alongside and enhance our main events - these working groups are to be chaired by an expert from our membership, setting the groups agenda and adding an exceptional addition to the Party’s own policy renewal programme.

2007 saw a record number of members with many dates in our programme heavily over-subscribed - we hope that our new programme won’t fail to disappoint new and established members alike.

I look forward to welcoming long-standing members to our meetings and events in 2008, while encouraging non-members to get in touch and arrange to attend a discussion or reception, meet the Forum’s directors and learn more about how our work can be beneficial to your organisations public affairs agenda. If you are not on our mailing list – sign up via info@enterprise-forum.co.uk for regular updates and additions to our programme.
