The virtual conference will be open to all involved in CLLD within Argyll and Bute. This will provide a platform for organisations involved in CLLD to work together to exchange experience and learn from good practice, plus learning from common errors. A conference report, complete with a shared toolkit of good practice approaches and processes for securing external funding, is to be included as part of the final report.",
