The Bournemouth Coastal Business Improvement District (Coastal BID) and Bournemouth Town Centre Business Improvement District seek to bring together stakeholders, businesses and your place managers to discuss best practice, interesting ideas, to learn from each other and to agree the outline proposals for the next BID terms (2017 -2022) based on the business survey and consultations.
Inspired by the fact that many of the BID levy paying businesses, stakeholders and organisations engage in the consultations to develop new proposals moving Bournemouth conurbation forward, this half-day spin-off conference was born.We would like to invite you to this conference as it provides the Bournemouth Coastal BID and Town Centre BIDs with an opportunity to showcase the ideas, opportunities, success stories and the providers that will enable both Bournemouth BIDs to work in partnership with local authorities and any other stakeholders to deliver a range of new projects that drive footfall, engage the community, reanimate the coastal villages and Bournemouth town centre, and support local businesses.
After this Bournemouth BIDs Conference, delegates will have all the ideas and inspiration to engage in greater community activities PLUS all the know-how and contacts to benefit more from BIDs activities for their own real success. The conference encompasses keynote presentations, Q&A sessions, and plenty of networking time.
