Click here to view the presentations from the conference. Business Improvement Districts Scotland (BIDS) is delighted to be hosting the Vital and Vibrant Town Centres Conference 2009 entitled “Town Centres: The Fight Back”. The day will focus on the importance of investing in the future, partnership working between the private and public sectors, best practice, innovation and promoting a positive message about our town centres.

The conference will focus on real issues; offer thought-provoking perspectives; and hopefully stimulate debate about how the fight back for Scotland’s town centres and high streets can begin in earnest.

Chaired by Ross Martin, Director of the Centre for Scottish Public Policy, guest speakers include:
