Launched in 2009 CityCo’s City Centre Annual Review invites Manchester’s senior business community to join city leaders as we reflect on the previous 12 months, and look towards the year ahead.

The event allows guests to access information and gain insight in to major projects and developments, and learn how the city will evolve in the coming year.
