West London Futures Summit

The second edition of the West London Futures summit takes place on Thursday 7 June 2018 and will focus on building consensus on private sector investment in three key determinants of future growth in West London:

• Intelligent Mobility - ensuring that West London is in the vanguard of deploying smart methods of utilising 'Mobility as a Service';
• Talent – strengthening education-business partnership, and scaling up Apprenticeships, to ensure young people are readier for work; and
• Housing – focusing on how the private sector is addressing the housing crisis impacting many of their staff

The summit starts at 8 am and will feature two keynotes, as well as two panels of experts and professionals. Alongside this punchy format will be opportunities to network and ensure your company’s input to how we achieve greater collaboration on these key issues is heard.  We will wrap-up by 11 am.

We are expecting 100 senior professionals drawn from the top 500 companies in West London to attend.
