LGA/CLOA culture, tourism and sport conference #LGACLOA12
07 Mar 2012
This conference was held at the Mercure Cardiff Holland House Hotel and Spa, Cardiff

Headline Speakers

With the Olympic and Paralympic Games; Diamond Jubilee; Cultural Olympiad and countless local activities and celebrations, 2012 is going to be a huge year for local culture, tourism and sport services.

But coming hot on the heels of the toughest financial settlement in a generation, and with budget pressures continuing, how can services exploit the opportunities of 2012 and beyond? 

  • How have libraries, museums, sports and arts services adapted to budget pressures? 

  • How are councils working with volunteers, social enterprises and the private sector to improve efficiency?

  • How can culture, tourism and sport improve public health, inspire children and young people to learn about and boost the economy?

Online viewers will hear from the foremost experts and thinkers in the field, including:

  • Hugh Robertson MP, Minister for Sport and the Olympics;
  • Rt Hon Harriet Harman MP, Shadow Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport and Shadow Deputy Prime Minister;
  • Nick Capaldi, Chief Executive, The Arts Council of Wales;
  • Jenifer Littman MBE, Chief Executive, Tourism for All UK;
  • Dame Jenny Abramsky CBE, Chair, Heritage Lottery Fund;
  • Sean Holt, Chief Executive, Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity.
