Chair and chief executive of DIB, Frank McKenna, said: “We have more than 50 events planned across the country between now and the end of the year.
“Some of our key conversations will be in Liverpool, where we have a city council leadership beginning to make progress, a metro mayor with a mandate for a further four years, and the Labour conference taking place.
“In addition to hosting local leaders, we will be talking to government ministers and key advisors too.
“It is an exciting time for DIB, and we have enjoyed a fabulous 2024 so far. We are looking to end the year with a bang, and our extensive events programme will certainly help us do that.”
