Programme highlights

Keynote: Looking back and forward

How has the London property market performed over the past four years and what does the next four have in store? And has the impact of Brexit now been fully priced into transactions or is there more to come?

Panel: How I see the future

How do London’s leading developers and infrastructure providers view the challenges and opportunities in the capital? Are they investing and building or waiting for the political and economic environment to change?

Panel: Housing Partnerships

Why has collaboration between the public and private sector to deliver new homes become so contentious? And how can a new era of joint ventures be established?
