Shropshire’s first Leadership Conference to feature internationally-renowned speakers
Shropshire’s first leadership conference is set to bring influential speakers from an array of backgrounds together to impart their knowledge and experience of leadership.
The Leadership Conference 2019 is being held at Shrewsbury Town FC on Thursday 19 September 2019. Organised by Shropshire HR, the sell-out event is the first of what is hoped to be an annual conference.

One hundred and seventy delegates representing public and private sectors, local SMEs and international businesses, have signed up for a day of inspirational keynote speakers, and thought-provoking workshops and seminars. The conference will look at topics in areas of emotional intelligence, resilience, mental health, culture change, and practical leadership skills.
Sam Williams, Shropshire Council’s head of workforce and organisational development, said:
“We’re really excited to be hosting The Leadership Conference 2019. This will be the first time that leaders from businesses and organisations across the county (and the West Midlands) will come together for an event of this type. It is thanks to our incredible line-up of speakers, some of whom have spoken internationally, that the conference sold out in less than three weeks. It is our intention to make The Leadership Conference an annual feature for Shropshire.”
Lee Chapman, Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member for organisational transformation and digital infrastructure, said:-
“We are extremely fortunate to have an incredible line-up of speakers coming to Shrewsbury, each of whom will bring something unique to this exciting event. This conference and the wider work of Shropshire HR is an example of how Shropshire Council is innovating and transforming the way we do business. A key priority identified within our corporate plan is to ensure Shropshire is a good place to do business, and having an event of this calibre in the county supports that aim.”
