We celebrated British BIDs 5th birthday in style.  The conference this year was kindly hosted by SNR Denton and sponsored by iGuide Mobile Applications Ltd.
 
Dinner was served at The Crypt, a wonderfully atmospheric venue, providing the perfect conclusion to an action packed day.

The programme debated Localism & BIDs; Innovation in the BID World and The Future of Town & City Centres; the 5th Nationwide BID Survey was launched, providing the only robust research and commentary within the BID industry.

Our popular Marketing Apprentice Masterclass was also a great sucess, with the equally enthusiastic Apprentice Panel hiring one group and firing three!

A busy day was concluded with a champagne reception amongst candlelight at The Crypt, followed by dinner, Accreditation awards and a surprise iPad giveaway to a lucky delegate, thanks to our sponsors, iGuide.

With serious themes but a lighthearted undertone, we also ran the hugely successful Bb BID Ideas Den, introducing it this year to the evening programme. Many fabulous ideas were put forward to the den with a panel of dragons as fierce as ever!  The winning entry was awarded to HammersmithLondon.

As always, a huge amount of learning, networking and new friendships were made - our thanks go to all those who contributed to making our 5th Annual Conference and Dinner such a great success.

We hope all those that attended enjoyed the event as much as we did and we very much look forward to seeing you all next November in London for another action packed programme.
