Our Festival of Place events break down silos and bring together professionals working in the property, policy, planning and design industry to tackle the major issues facing UK towns and cities – environmental and social. We run an annual in-person conference and two deep-dive digital events: Social Impact and Climate Resilience
Gain frank insight from experts, including authors, scientists, cultural leaders, developers, investors, scientists, designers, community workers and city leaders.
We cater for the whole placemaking team, from developer to designer, investor to local government.
Participate and meet new collaborators seeking to address the biggest challenges facing makers of place, through masterclasses and workshops, where you will roll your sleeves up around the table
Festival of Place
Our annual in-person event takes place in July - tickets are on sale now for 2025 on 2 July at Boxpark Wembley in London. This event brings our whole community together to learn, connect and share best practice in designing and developing places.
Deep-dive digital events
Our two annual digital events, Social Impact and Climate Resilience, focus on learning, featuring fresh thinking and challenging conversations from diverse expert voices to inspire and connect our creative community of placemakers. With 100-150 attendees in every session and more than 75% of attendees attending for two or more hours, at our most recent event, 25% of ticketholders watched every session. The digital events are especially popular with organisation members, who can offer unlimited seats to their employees.
