Manchester celebrates the CII receiving its royal charter in style …
This year the we celebrate the centenary of the CII receiving the Royal Charter from King George the V and on the 9th March 2012 Manchester marked this occasion by holding a Going for Gold Conference at the Hilton Hotel in Manchester.
It was quite different from any other conference that we have seen before and that was our aim . It was an amazing day with a fantastic line up of guest speakers industry speakers included Chris Hanks, Brendan McManus, Amanda Blanc , Steve White. We were also very fortunate to have the presence of the Chief Constable of Manchester Peter Fahey, Richard Watson a Futurologist and Richard Hartley QC addressing our audience on interesting and relevant topics.
In addition our actors took us back 100 years and gave the audience an opportunity to witness what it may have been like all those years ago , underwriting a marine risk at Lloyds - this certainly grabbed the hearts and minds of the audience.
Sally Gunnell Olympic Gold Medallist closed the conference with a real inspirational and emotional speech.
Approx 250 people attended on the day and the feedback from the sponsors, speakers, participants and attendees has been excellent.
For those of you who attended don't forget to mark this down in your CPD log . It certainly was a day to remember - a day of learning, celebration, networking, and being part of a once in a lifetime event.
Here are a few lines of feedback from some of the guests:
"I write to say how enormously impressed I was by every aspect of last Fridays Centenary Conference. The speakers were excellent and truly inspirational, and the whole event was staged and run in a totally professional way."
"It was probably the best CII event that I have attended and this seemed to be the opinion of all the people I spoke with"
"Great conference - really great. Thank you "
I would just like to thank all involved in making this a successful day. It will be remembered for a very long time and all those involved in the organisation and production
Best Wishes
