The organisation has an impressive track record in increasing the number of visitors and enhancing Liverpool’s reputation as a leading UK business destination.

Richard Slee, Director of RS Marketing and PR, represents the Isle of Man on the CIM North West Regional Board. He said:

"For many years, the Island has enjoyed close ties with Liverpool and the surrounding City Region, so I am looking forward to welcoming Chris Brown to the Isle of Man to speak on this important topic.

"His presentation promises not only to be of real interest for local marketers. Anyone in the local business community wanting real insight into how successful cities and regions attract new investment, visitors and talent would benefit from attending."
