July 2nd & 3rd 2019 to be held at the stunning Imperial War Museum North, Manchester
The biggest and best conference that we have held thus far. An unmissable, memorable and valuable event guaranteed.
At Revive & Thrive we bring you the latest best practice for place managers, by place managers and suppliers. Keeping up to date with the latest policies and briefings to and from local and central government is vitally important for any place management. However, equally important is shared learning and sharing of best practice from practitioners on the ground and suppliers who have developed their products and services to ensure we are maximising our budgets, staying up to date with the latest technology and ensuring we are engaging the right audiences in our Towns & Cities.
Networking is a vital part of place management, whether to discuss strategy, exchange ideas or to learn from the experiences of your peers. As well as a great line up of informative and engaging speakers, we have planned plenty of opportunities for you to catch up with colleagues old and new.
The conference is spread over two days with a luxurious evening meal alongside a Harrier Jump Jet right in the heart of the museum. The meal also features a special guest of honour from Bomber Command, Flight Lieutenant John Trotman DFC and Bar.
