Doncaster Chamber is to stage the 2023 iteration of its ‘Doncaster, What Next’ business conference on Jun 6th, when it expects to welcome more than 300 delegates.
DWN 2023 will feature panels on a number of topical issues currently affecting firms, from closing the skills gap in Doncaster to attracting further investment into our city and growing the economy.
Within the context of recent setbacks — including the closure of Doncaster Sheffield Airport and the near miss with the campaign to bring the Great British Rail HQ to Doncaster — this will help local business people to understand what other opportunities are in the pipeline for Doncaster and to proffer their own innovative ideas for growing the economy.
Dan Fell, Chief Exec of Doncaster Chamber, said: “Last year’s DWN really showed Doncaster in its best light, with inspirational stories of local entrepreneurship and rich debate sparked by our tenacious business community. We came away from that event with plenty to think about — as well as lots of homework to be getting on with — and I am sure that the same will be true of 2023’s conference.
“We have representatives from LNER, the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority, Polypipe Building Products, Hybrid Air Vehicles, Clean Power Hydrogen and the BCC all coming along to share their insights and thrash out the pressing issues of the day.
“Yet this conference is not just about listening passively to keynote speakers as they engage in debate on a stage away from the audience. Rather, businesses are encouraged to get involved with the conversation here, speak up and put forward their own ideas about where Doncaster needs to be going in the future.
“We want to hear from the business community about where they think the next big opportunity for Doncaster lies. This is the perfect forum for bringing such things to the attention of not only ourselves at the Chamber, but also your peers and political representatives.
“With that said, I urge anybody who feels invested in the future of Doncaster to book their place now. This is a valuable opportunity to make your voice heard.”
