The New Statesman's Regional Development Conference 2024
I was recently commissioned to provide conference photography, here in Manchester for The New Statesman's Regional Development Conference 2024. Amongst others keynote speakers included Jim McMahon MP, Minister for English Devolution and Local Government and former Deputy Prime Minister Lord Hesaltine.
The new government is laying out its vision for the future of regional development. The conference looked at how this vision stacks up against the reality of investment, jobs and infrastructure in the North and Midlands? And what will the next election mean for the future of the levelling up agenda?
From the next tier of devolution and the role of skills and investment in regional growth to the regional benefits of the net zero transition and the role that transport can play in connecting ‘left behind’ parts of the UK, the conference offered key insights into the biggest opportunities and challenges of the levelling up strategy and addressed pressing questions on the future of local growth.
The Studio, on Oldman Street in the heart of Manchester’s Northern Quater provided a brilliant service and location for the conference with delegates really well looked after and catered for.
**Capture the Essence of Your Event with Professional Conference & Event Photography Services**
In today’s fast-paced world, events are powerful platforms for networking, learning, and creating lasting impressions. Whether you’re hosting a corporate conference, a non-profit fundraiser, a product launch, or a large-scale industry seminar, your event's success is often measured not just by what happens in the room, but by how you capture and share the experience afterward.
At [Your Business Name], we specialize in conference and event photography services designed to immortalize the key moments of your event while capturing the energy, interactions, and details that make your gathering unforgettable. With our expertise in high-quality event photography, we ensure your event’s story is told with clarity, precision, and professionalism.
### Why Your Event Needs Professional Photography
**1. Preserve Key Moments for Future Use**
The success of your event can’t always be measured in the moment—it’s also about how you capture and share the experience afterward. Professional event photography preserves the most important moments: keynote speeches, panel discussions, networking sessions, and candid moments that showcase the atmosphere. These images become valuable assets for future marketing, social media promotion, and event branding.
**2. Enhance Your Event’s Online and Marketing Presence**
In today’s digital world, your event doesn’t end when the last guest leaves. The best events have a lasting digital footprint. High-quality images are crucial for extending your event’s life online. These photos can be used across multiple platforms—social media, websites, newsletters, brochures, and promotional content—to keep the buzz alive long after the event has concluded. Google loves fresh, relevant, and engaging content, and stunning event photos can help improve your online visibility by boosting engagement and driving more traffic to your website.
**3. Increase Engagement on Social Media**
Social media has become a vital tool for promoting events before, during, and after they take place. High-quality images are a powerful way to engage your audience, showcase highlights, and keep the conversation going. Attendees are more likely to share professional photos, helping spread the word and extend the reach of your event. Event photography can provide shareable, visually captivating content that sparks conversations and encourages attendees to tag your event, boosting your visibility on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
**4. Build a Professional Image and Brand Recognition**
Your event reflects your brand, and professional photography elevates that perception. High-quality images convey professionalism, credibility, and attention to detail—showing attendees that you value their experience. Whether you're organizing a corporate conference or a community event, having polished photos helps to communicate your brand’s commitment to quality and excellence.
**5. Document Networking Opportunities & Important Interactions**
Events are not just about speeches and sessions—they’re about the people who attend, the networking that happens, and the connections made. Our photographers are skilled at capturing authentic interactions, whether it’s a handshake between potential business partners, a group of people in deep conversation, or the candid moments that make your event unique. These images showcase the true value of the event and can be used to build relationships or promote future opportunities.
