LAUNCHING SOON!
Join us at Portsmouth Guildhall on Friday 17th January 2025, for the Shaping Portsmouth Conference!
We are very excited to be bringing the Shaping Portsmouth Conference back to Portsmouth Guildhall, with the theme of Shaping Our Future. This will also be Stef Nienaltowski’s final conference as CEO before his retirement!
Throughout the day we’ll have updates from Stef and our Directors on Shaping Portsmouth’s Business, Education, and Community pillars, plus a Portsmouth City Council update and Q&A from Council Leader Cllr Steve Pitt, the Shaping Portsmouth Awards, and the always popular networking and exhibition.
We’ll also be joined by Bruce Findlay, Managing Director of Landsec Retail, and Mike Hood, CEO of Landsec U&I, telling us about the £45m redevelopment of Gunwharf Quays, the SEND students of our Shaped By Solent programme selling their products created with the support of their business mentors, and a message from our Co-Chairs, Simon Barrable and Mark Waldron, will finish off the day.
