The North East is no stranger to economic regeneration, but after more than a year of restrictions and financial uncertainty caused by the pandemic our cultural, retail and hospitality sectors are suffering. Our panel of experts will reflect on the challenges faced by local businesses, the future of our city centres and how we can recover and rebuild for a better future.

Panellists include:
- Lucy Winskell OBE, Chair of the North East Local Enterprise Partnership and Pro Vice Chancellor (Employability and Partnerships), Northumbria University
- Atul Malhotra, Operations Director, Malhotra Group PLC
- Abigail Pogson, Managing Director, Sage Gateshead and Co-Chair, NewcastleGateshead Cultural Venues
