After a busy day of meetings, panel discussions, queuing for coffee, searching for signal, and hot-footing it between Leeds Dock and the city, attendees were able to relax and unwind at Place’s reception drinks at Revolución de Cuba on Call Lane.

Mayors, city leaders, and Combined Authority officials from across the Midlands, the North of England, and Scotland used a roundtable hosted by Place North to argue that the UK’s next wave of growth will be driven by regional cities, highlighting opportunities in AI, clean energy, advanced manufacturing, and housing, while calling for deeper devolution and stronger infrastructure investment.
