Alliance Manchester Business School brings together business leaders, entrepreneurs, policymakers, investors, academics and civic partners for a two-day summit exploring the future of Greater Manchester and the North.
Under the theme Reimagining the North: Built for Change, Made to Last, the festival will examine the challenges facing organisations and the practical steps needed to support long-term, inclusive growth.
The programme will explore issues including artificial intelligence and technology, skills, productivity, investment and responsible growth. Through keynote talks, panel discussions and facilitated roundtables, attendees will hear from leading voices across business, policy and academia, share perspectives and consider solutions to the region’s economic and social challenges.
The second day will focus on turning discussion into action, with sessions exploring leadership, collaboration, the future of work and wellbeing. Speakers include THG founder Matt Moulding, alongside experts in business, policy and academia.
The festival offers an opportunity to exchange ideas, build connections with senior decision-makers and contribute to conversations shaping the North’s future.
