About the events

The Humber LEP AGM

Join us for breakfast to hear from LEP Chair Lord Haskins and board members about the LEP’s work over the last year and plans for the future. Find out how our economy is performing compared to others, what projects are being delivered on the ground and what new support is coming this year for businesses.

Partners from around the Humber are working together to improve our region’s skills, infrastructure and business environment. With Government planning to strengthen the role of LEPs, this is your chance to discuss your priorities with decision-makers and get involved with the LEP’s work.

The Future Summit

The Humber is experiencing record economic performance, beating national trends. The Energy Estuary strategy has paid off, but what’s next? How can we continue the momentum we have?

This year the Humber LEP is developing an ambitious new plan to build on our region’s success, led by businesses.

Join major industry figures at this landmark event to discuss the megatrends that will shape our economy, the new opportunities that lie ahead, and what we will all have to do to capitalise on them.

Getting to the venue

Both events are being held at the new Doubletree by Hilton Hull, part of the Humber Enterprise Zone. Access is via the dedicated entrance to the conference centre on Portland Place.

The venue is a short walk from Paragon Interchange. If you are travelling by car, we recommend using one of the nearby city centre car parks as there is very limited parking on the hotel site.
