“Building Business Confidence” Conference 
– Wednesday 17 March 2010
The CEA’s AGM Conference will be held on Wednesday 17 March at One Great George Street, Westminster, London, SW1 (10.00 hrs to 16.15 hrs, approx). Once again, we will be using the Telford Theatre for our conference. The CEA’s Annual General Meeting will take place before the conference, at 09.15 hrs (CEA members only).

Our theme this year is "Building Business Confidence" – something we see as a key issue in the run-up to the long promised General Election. Our Moderator for the day will be Greg Wood – known for his roles as Business Correspondent for the BBC in the UK and North America.

Confirmed speakers include:

  • Paul Morrell – Government Chief Construction Advisor

  • David Bell – Chief Development Officer, JCB

  • David Phillips – Managing Director, Off-Highway Research Ltd

  • Prof Mike Gregory CBE – Cambridge University and Institute for Manufacturing

We will also have contributors on legislative developments, showcase exhibits and our networking lunch in the Great Hall.
