Management Today and Haymarket Event Management have won a competitive pitch to produce the Confederation of British Industry (CBI)’s annual Business Summit.

The event is aimed at business leaders and entrepreneurs in the UK and this year will focus on how to lead and engage workforces post-recession.

Chris Levy, director of marketing and commercial operations at the CBI, said: “We’re delighted to be working with Haymarket on what is one of our most important events, the CBI Business Summit. The event is a celebration of new and entrepreneurial business thinking and we are confident that Management Today is the best partner in helping us deliver that content to our target audience.

“We were also impressed with their credentials and experience in producing informative and dynamic conferences and are looking forward to 2010 and beyond.”

Speakers already confirmed include Richard Lambert, CBI director-general, Gordon Frazer, Microsoft Ltd managing director, Ken Keir, Honda UK managing director, Laura Whyte, John Lewis personnel director, and Steve Easterbrook, UK chief executive of McDonald’s Restaurants Ltd.

Management Today publishing director Simon Lees said: “Working with the CBI is a huge achievement for Management Today as it is a clear indication of our credentials to deliver outstanding content to influential audiences. We have already secured some of the best brains in business today and are looking forward to delivering a compelling and valuable event.”

The CBI Business Summit will take place on June 29 at the Jumeirah Carlton Tower in Knightsbridge.
