London Culture and 2012: Corporate Planner Forum

In conjunction with our sponsor the Canadian Tourism Commission, MPI UK & Ireland has created a dinner forum that will address the London 2012 cultural programme. This exclusive event provides a small group of planners the opportunity to receive knowledge on the topic and participate in a facilitated discussion over a first class meal.

For this event we will be joined by Justine Simons – Head of Cultural Strategy for the Mayor’s Office and Chenine Bhathena – London’s 2012 Creative Programmer. Justine and Chenine will be happy to share details over dinner of how the celebrations are taking shape and how this may impact or link with your organisation event planning. Areas of interest may include the live sites, Olympic torch relay, music, dance and arts festivals. The aim is to deliver a cultural programme that engages the very best that the world of entertainment and arts can offer and some ‘must see’ performances.

The dinner forum will take place on Thursday 31st March 2010 and will be hosted by The dinner forum will take place on Thursday 31st March 2010 and will be hosted by QEII Conference Centre Private Dining – 6pm – 8.30pm.
