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.
