We believe the best conversations happen face to face.

That’s why we run and take part in a range of events throughout the year, from industry conferences to roundtables, site visits and more informal get-togethers. Our events are designed to share insight, spark conversation and connect with people who are passionate about finding better uses for empty buildings.
