Devo East Network Launch

SOONER OR LATER? MAKING THE PROMISE OF DEVOLUTION COME TRUE

Join our special guests from business and politics to talk about unlocking the full power of devolution in the East of England

THURSDAY 5 FEBRUARY 2026 | 6PM - 8PM

JOHN PEEL CENTRE FOR CREATIVE ARTS | Church Walk, Stowmarket, Suffolk, IP14 1ET

We’re delighted you want to join us and  our VIP panel at the launch of the Devo East Network, a new forum bringing together the East’s leading political, business, and civic voices to shape the conversation about the future of devolution in our region.

The East stands on the brink of real change. The promise of devolution is there but the announcement that the Mayoral elections in the East have been delayed also means investment in the skills, jobs, opportunities, regeneration and connectivity won't happen fast enough to deliver much needed growth.

The Devo East Network has been created to provide a unique forum for those who live, work, rest and play in the East of England. It brings together political, business and thought leaders; influencers and communication professionals to shape the conversation on what devolution means for the East’s future economic growth, democratic renewal and future prosperity. A Devo East is the place to collaborate, convene, build consensus and network on the big issues.

Join us on Thursday 5th February for our Devo East Launch, special guests from the political and business world, insights from the Devo Collective, and the chance to find out how you can get involved in this growing movement for the East.

If you’d like to discuss the agenda or explore how you can get involved, please contact me directly at carli@devoagency.co.uk or devoeast@devoagency.co.uk.  

We look forward to welcoming you to our first Devo East event and to shaping the future of the East, together.
