NTIA Announce First Night Time Economy Summit in conjunction with Bristol Nights & Savenightlife.

‍

The first edition of the NTIA Night Time Economy Summit is set to take place from the 7th & 8th April 2022 at Bristol Beacon in conjunction with Bristol Nights & Savenightlife CIC.

Night Time Economy businesses across the UK have been at the sharpest end of the pandemic but have shown true community spirit throughout this crisis. The summit will aim to continue to bring the sector together to collectively debate, as well as share experiences but more importantly give businesses the opportunity to reset, reflect and work from ground zero, and effect change for a better future.

The sector has suffered massively, with many businesses and livelihoods lost, but even in the face of adversity, the industry has emerged with a renewed sense of community, resilience and an ability to adapt and overcome any crisis together.

Says NTIA CEO Michael Kill:

“At this point we felt it vitally important that we benchmark this moment with a summit, where our community can come together, some to meet for the first time outside of there virtual realm, an opportunity for operators, regulators, creators, entrepreneurs to come together and share, learn and build a stronger, more resilient industry for the future.”

‍

  • Sacha Lord (Night Time Economy Advisor Greater Manchester)
