We are delighted to announce that the most senior civil servants working in public sector property will converge on Manchester to discuss and debate Government’s Property Strategy, one year on from it’s launch. This conference will see the authors of the strategy and leaders in Government Property – including representatives from Government departments, the NHS, and Local Government – come together to explore the main themes and discuss the future of the profession.
Delegate attendance is completely free of charge for senior public servants, thus removing a significant cost barrier and facilitating a renewal or a creation of those vitally important networks with their peers and with a range of knowledgeable private sector advisors and practitioners.
A plenary session will set the scene for the day, then the conference continues with sessions going into more detail on the strategy and how the wider public sector can respond to the challenges and opportunities. Sessions will be led by a mix of public and private sector presenters and will encourage interactivity.
Throughout the day there will also be chances to network with your peers within the exhibition area and sample the excellent catering that Etc venues provide.
Delegate places are free of charge for all public sector property professionals employed within the UK public sector*. Places will be allocated on a ‘first come, first served’ basis and must be booked in advance. Don’t miss out on your place
*Terms & Conditions apply as detailed on booking
