Sandwell Business Ambassadors want to make you aware of the National Social Value Conference, taking place on Tuesday 23 and Wednesday 24 February 2021.

The free event, which will be held online, aims to explore how the public and private sectors can work together to help each other. It’s also a great opportunity to find out what the regional and national social value agendas can offer business.

• Commissioning and procuring of public and private sector solutions
• Planning and advancing new real estate developments
• Delivering large infrastructure projects
• Acting as responsible and innovative businesses
• Building trust, engaging and supporting communities
• Investing and managing assets
• Measuring and reporting.

The line-up of speakers includes:
