Many apologies if this is the wrong forum or website to post this in, but we would be interested to hear opinions about a new training retreat idea that is being developed.
We would like your views on whether or not a unique opportunity for your continuous professional development would be attractive to experienced town planners, urban designers and those involved in project managing large scale urban development. The main purpose of the event would be to offer a relaxed and supportive environment to foster an intensive exploration of how to ensure that large scale development can be made sustainable and popular to the public.
The core offer would include:
- A calm, fully catered and comfortable venue.
- An intensive event held over more than one day.
- Interesting surroundings.
- A break from the usual “sheep dip” training or conference experience.
- Part of a small group for maximum impact as a networking opportunity.
We would like to know:
1. How far would you be willing to travel to such an event?
< 1 hour; 1 - 2 hours; 2 - 3 hours; over 3 hours.
2. How much time would you be willing to take out of your week?
3. Would you be willing to take a weekend out for continuous professional development?
4. How much would you be willing to spend per day on a maximum budget?
< £200; 200 – 299; 300 – 399; 400 – 499; > 500.
