Background
What is the Three Cities Summit?
In the 70th year of the twinning links between Bristol and Hannover, and Bristol and
Bordeaux, there is much to celebrate and much to look forward to. The Three Cities Summit
is a conference and workshop about that future. It brings together these similar-sized cities,
with complementary business, technology and cultural interests. The programme will
include keynote presentations, break-out sessions and panel discussions on the following
topics:
Developing cities for prosperity, inclusivity and quality of life
How to ensure inclusivity and diversity in the growth agenda
Why a technology and digital creative industries are crucial to economic growth
The skills agenda providing a high-quality workforce
The role of city governance in inclusive, economic growth
The summit will also include visits to businesses, organisations and incubators in the Bristol
City region. Ample time will be given to networking and collaboration discussions.

The organisers
This conference is being partially funded by the European Union Education, Audiovisual &
Culture Agency.
The event is organised in partnership with the Bristol Junior Chamber of Commerce, Gregg
Latchams Solicitors and Bristol City Council. It is supported by Bristol International Twinning
Association and the West of England Combined Authority, and is linked to the Festival of the
Future City.

Who will be there?

This conference is aimed at the movers and shakers in the three cities. Delegates who
attend will be interested in the future prosperity, and fairness of opportunity in the city
regions. We are inviting: senior elected politicians, and city officials, with responsibility for
economic development; senior business people who are involved in economic growth, jobs
or skills; CEO level business people who care about the future of their city; academics who
have an interest in city development; and leaders in 3rd sector organisations, workers
representatives and charities who are interested in ensuring communities do not get left
behind.

What will it achieve?

This is the first summit for these three great cities. It is expected that further dialogue will
happen following the summit leading to joint projects and collaborations. The aim is to:
Provide a platform for sharing good/best practice amongst the three cities
Identify areas for collaboration for mutual benefit
Forge links, and develop relationships in business, city development and the
inclusivity agenda
A measure of success will be the number of practical projects and programmes that are
initiated as a result of the summit.
Why should you attend this event?
It will be a way to network with some of the most influential people and businesses from
these three cities and build relationships with markets in European cities that have historical
links with Bristol.
