Chaired by Cllr Chris White (Chair of the Local Government Association's Culture, Tourism and Sport Board) the event attracted over 150 delegates including many elected Members. Cllr Stephen Castle, chair of Nations and Regions East outlined the potential of using the London 2012 Olympics as a hook in LAAs. The size and response of the audience demonstrated that there is a genuine appetite for maximising the culture and sport content of new LAAs and sharing good practice within and between regions.
