Description:
Innovate to Survive 2010 will bring together everyone within the engineering value chain to discuss, address, and look to find solutions to the challenges of a low carbon future.
Using a combination of strategic plenary sessions and focussed solutions-driven roundtable workshops, this event will give delegates the opportunity to really engage with those that are able to make a difference in this field: those that are planning for the future, and those that are going to have to plan for whatever the future holds.
The event will provide opportunities for networking and contact building.
There is a £100 discount available for LowCVP members, including a further £100 discount for those who book before 28 Jan 2010.
