Derby Property Summit: Meet panellist Mike Wingfield
The vice-chairman of an organisation which has ambitious plans to make more of Derby’s waterways has been confirmed as a panellist at the forthcoming Derby Property Summit.
Mike Wingfield, from the Derby and Sandiacre Canal Trust, will be among the keynote speakers at the event, which is set to take place on Wednesday, 14 July.
Showcasing the city’s investment pipeline and future opportunities, as well as keynote speakers, the property summit will feature panel discussions and networking.
The Derby and Sandiacre Canal Trust has a vision for Derby, which involves its waterways.
A key element of its proposed Derby Waterside project is The Derby Arm – a 30-metre-high electro-mechanical structure capable of lifting canal boats out of the restored Derby Canal and placing them into the River Derwent (and vice-versa).
This would allow boats on the UK canal network to travel into the centre of Derby, up to the Museum of Making.
The trust is also the organisation behind the Derby Riverboat due for launch on the River Derwent.
Customers using the boat will be able to listen to an audio commentary on the way up the river, crammed with facts about Derby’s fascinating history and its exciting plans for the future.
There is just one week left to register for the Derby Property Summit, which this year will be a hybrid event.
Once again, business journalist Declan Curry will assume hosting duties – and will be joined by speakers including Paul, as well as representatives from investors St James Securities and Cale Street, who between them account for £500 million of investment in Derby.
The networking element will take place in the award-winning Market Place Al Fresco Dining Experience, with the conference held in the comfort of the QUAD cinema.
For safety and to facilitate quality networking, numbers will be limited to 120 delegates attending in person, with unlimited numbers online. Over 300 delegates are already booked in.
Tickets to the live event and face-to-face networking area are limited to event sponsors. To find out more about sponsorship opportunities e-mail Katie Wells at katie.wells@marketingderby.co.uk.
