  Leading entrepreneurs and experts in the UK tourism industry will be
  attending to help us define the key priorities to help grow tourism in
  East Kent over the next decade. Confirmed speakers include Olga
  Polizzi CBE, designer and hotelier, and James Lohan, CEO and

  I received that too Howard, but decided that as the tourism strategy I had written and sent out for consultation, inviting input, was totally ignored by WCCTA, DTC and the T.T. anything I say or promote, will will be heavily put down.

  Would suggest the speakers and audience may be wider than Dover Roger, this is regional/sub regional with a national agenda theme.
  
  Dover's international status with port destination on a trans european transport network, the second largest cruise terminal operator nationally & it's heritage & environmental status needs a bigger input other than just local groups. Dover ought to take advantage of the opportunity.
