About the conference

The 2009 Annual mksm Conference took place on Tuesday 10 November 2009 in Luton. It brought together some 200 senior delegates from public and private sectors to promote and discuss the opportunities and challenges in successfully delivering the largest Growth Area agenda. It focused on how to deliver successful and sustainable long-term growth through the major economic and political changes which will occur over the coming decade.

Delegates had the opportunity to hear views from Central Government, leading professionals and external commentators as well as hearing about the recent progress made by the strong partnership working across mksm.
