In Review
Nottingham in Parliament Day helped showcase the best of the University, the City, County and Region to policymakers and London influencers who may not necessarily have a great deal of exposure to the ideas, businesses and people that make Nottingham great.
2,952 guests attended 45 separate events with over 140 speakers and performers in 28 separate venues across the Parliamentary Estate. The events included everything from live research demonstrations, inward investment networking, drinks receptions, quizzes and 3D-printing, to live sporting activity, music and theatre performances.
15 million people saw, heard or read a reference to Nottingham in Parliament Day in the national or local media. Social media activity had a reach of 8.8 milion people. The official hashtag #NottinghamTogether trended on Twitter in the top three stories on the Day, at one point overtaking the Heathrow expansion debate to become the top trending topic.
The initiative aimed to highlight strong existing partnerships – like the link between Nottingham’s Michelin starred Chef Sat Bains and food researchers at The University of Nottingham – as well as give new collaborations a chance to take root across the private, public and voluntary sectors.
