Dates for 2010 announced! This year the definitive Regeneration Masterclass will be hosted in London at the Zetter Hotel near Farringdon and by BURA members Charles Russell.
The Regeneration Masterclass goes from strength to strength every year. Never before has it been as important to have a forum to enable senior managers from the public, private and community sectors to meet, learn and share knowledge.
“The Masterclass programme embodies the cross-sectoral and creative approach essential to the success of sustainable communities and regeneration.”
Peter Housden, Permanent Secretary, CLG
It is important that the lessons learned over the years are not forgotten during these challenging times. Through the Masterclass we can also look at creating opportunities to develop new ideas and approaches for moving forward as a united sector.
