Delegates to the Event now have the chance to attend the second day of the Annual BURA Conference in Liverpool (31/01/08) as our guest

Dear Colleague,
Firstly, many thanks to all those speakers, delegates and exhibitors alike, who have confirmed their presence at Regeneration is 30.

I'd like to draw to your attention the fact that there are still a few places left at the key 'Regeneration is 30 Conference' in Liverpool on the 30th January 2008. As you are aware, 2008 is an important year for regeneration, as it is the 30th Anniversary of the introduction of the 1978 Inner Urban Areas Act. In celebration of this the Eton Evaluation Consultancy has organised the 'Regeneration is 30" Conference'. This unique event will take place in the Conference Centre at LACE in the 2008 European Capital of Culture Liverpool. The LACE Centre is a highly appropriate venue for this event, as it is located in the boundaries of the Liverpool Inner Urban Areas Study, whose final report in 1977 Change of Decay directed informed the development of urban and neighbour hood renewal policy.
