An annual staple in the sector calendar, the discussion this year will offer critical insights on the challenges and opportunities the built environment sector faces in the run-up to, and after the General Election.
The networking breakfast panel event will be led by former politicians, senior advisors, and national journalists from diverse political backgrounds. The panel will provide insights on future policy and guidance on the strategic steps businesses can take to prepare for change.
We’ll ask what businesses should do to stay relevant in times of uncertainty and offer attendees the opportunity to quiz our panellists.
Areas of focus will include commercial, retail and residential planning; the political landscape for housing and utility infrastructure; social housing; and the alignment of energy & sustainability in the built environment.

- Damian Reece – panel chair and former Telegraph Business Editor
