UKREiiF is taking place 19-21 May this year in Leeds, with many new additions.
Our director at UKPF, Matthew Battle, is set to attend and looks forward to the event with great anticipation: “UKPF is excited to be a media partner for UKREiiF, and we will be working with our partners in Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Berkshire to raise profile on the development community in these regions. I look forward to meeting you and can be contacted to set up a meeting or be interviewed for our UKREiiF podcast at info@ukpropertyforums.com”.
Changes and improvements
Some of the additional changes include the expansion of the site, which will also be more accessible. Brand-new areas will be opened across the venue in order to maximize space, with registration and luggage storage receiving new dedicated zones. In addition new ramps and lower desks will be implemented to optimise accessibility for those attending.
Networking spaces are also a priority, with indoor spaces on the Boulevard being expanded to give attendees more room for conversations and meetings. The exhibition hall and courtyard will also be connected to improve footfall and connectivity throughout the site.
The UKREiiF app will be returning with new refinements, based on user feedback, these will include:
- The ability to build personalised programmes using smart search and filtering systems
- Access to the delegate directory to network with other attendees ahead of the event
- Access to the zone map for clear wayfinding
There are also new pavilions joining the event, such as the Welsh Government, Capsticks Solicitors, and the Landscape Institute, as well as many more.
