SURF Annual Conference 2010
Wednesday 24th & Thursday 25th March, Edinburgh

In a time of economic inactivity, dramatic reductions in public spending, and rising levels of unemployment and poverty, the focus of all our regeneration efforts should be on practical, pro-active and co-operative responses to the very real threat of degeneration across the board.

The 2010 SURF Annual Conference will examine the real opportunities for sustaining and reinventing more sustainable community regeneration in this time of change.

This special two-day event, will take place in Edinburgh on the 24th and 25th March. Key speakers confirmed so far include:

Alex Neil MSP Scottish Government Minister for Housing and Communities
Prof. Duncan MacLennan International expert on housing & regeneration (University of St. Andrew's)
Prof. Greg Lloyd Professor of Urban Planning, University of Belfast
Jim McFarlane Managing Director of Operations, Scottish Enterprise
Dominic Munro Head of Communities Analytical Services, Scottish Government
Day One (Wednesday 24th March), which will be delivered in co-operation with the University of Edinburgh's Public Policy Network, will link Scotland's academic resources with the regeneration challenges we all face.

Day Two (Thursday 25th March), which will take place in the city centre Roxburghe Hotel, will link the policy process to the real practice of delivering positive change in Scotland's disadvantaged communities.

You can 'be part of the solution' by participating in this key Scottish regeneration event and sharing your experience and ideas with regeneration colleagues from all sectors across Scotland.
