We all have questions about the practical impact of Brexit on our businesses.

This free event will give you the latest update on the progress of Brexit and how it will impact your business from a range of viewpoints: the national perspective; the regional perspective, and the practical and legal perspective.

Speakers will include representatives from the North East LEP, the CBI, and Ward Hadaway.

The event will conclude with an open session to allow you to put your questions to the experts. We aim to close by 10am, but there will be plenty of time for networking and conversation afterwards.

Aimed at senior management in the private sector, this event will give you the latest information on how Brexit is going to affect businesses. It will help you to identify the practical steps your business needs to take and the preparations you should be making.
