Sponsorship opportunities at the WMRO Annual Conference 2008

Our 2008 Annual Conference will be held on Monday 13th October 2008 in Coventry and gives organisations the opportunity to raise their business profile amongst the key decision makers in the data, intelligence and research community within the West Midlands.

This year, the conference has again attracted several high profile speakers, including Liam Byrne, who will be launching the new State of the Region synthesis report Ian Austin MP, the new Minister for the West Midlands.

Further speakers include Professor Carl Chinn and Professor Alan Harding who will speak about the history of the West Midlands region and the Sub National Review respectively.

In addition, the conference attracts approximately 200 key senior decision makers who are always interested to meet people who can provide data and services to help support their organisations.
