Letter from Board of PatronsAs patrons of City Week, we are delighted to issue this statement of support for City Week 2012.

Building on the success of last year’s inaugural event, which attracted more than 650 delegates from 40 countries, City Week is now firmly established as the premier international event of its kind.
