I’ve spoken a lot about the venue, the panels and the brands involved, but the biggest thing for me is still the people attending. The room is everything. You can have the best venue in the world and still end up with a flat evening if the mix is wrong. You can also have a room that comes alive because the right people are in it. That’s always the aim for me. Manchester is bringing together developers, landlords, investors and businesses that genuinely belong in the room. That’s what makes me confident this one will work.
