In our brand-new 'love local' blog series, we're celebrating the wonderful people behind Nottinghamshire's local, independent businesses. We're kicking off the series with a guest blog from Julie Byrne, the Managing Director of the School of Artisan Food.

Over 150 attendees from across the region’s tourism sector will hear insights from some of the UK’s leading tourism professionals and updates from Nottinghamshire’s key tourist attractions. The Summit will be held at Nottingham Lakeside Arts in a nod to the organisation’s history; this is the venue where Visit Nottinghamshire (previously Experience Nottinghamshire) was launched 15 years ago.
