In the last year by winning the titles of UK City of Culture 2021 and European City of Sport 2019, Coventry has been given a once in a lifetime opportunity to change their profile and perception nationally and internationally, increase our inbound visitors numbers and enhance their experience which then subsequently has a direct impact on the growth of our visitor economy.
If you work in the tourism, culture or hospitality sector join us to find out how Coventry is preparing to transform itself. Understand how you can get involved so that together we can all grasp the opportunities that the next few years bring.
Our speakers will offer an update on the European City of Sport 2019, Commonwealth Games 2022 and of course City of Culture 2021.
The session will end with a networking lunch to encourage further discussion.
