THE CONVERSATION / THE TOPIC
Every quarter, South Yorkshire Chambers (Doncaster, Sheffield, Barnsley & Rotherham) ask hundreds of businesses about the economic climate. This webinar will explore the realities behind recruitment struggles, rising costs, infrastructure gaps, and the impact of technology and AI. Led by Doncaster Chamber’s Chief Executive Dan Fell, the session opens the floor for discussion on what’s working, where pressure points are, and what actions are needed to build a stronger, fairer regional economy.

TARGET AUDIENCE
Senior leaders and decision-makers in local government, combined authorities, public services, and economic development.
