Why attend?

inspiring content
Our speakers attract developers, policymakers and designers from the public and private sector who want to learn. We invite academics and experts, as well as industry leaders, to share their insights and answer questions you’re already asking or need to consider. 

amazing facilitators

We believe great hosts are essential to meaningful gatherings. We make it easier to network and build professional relationships by creating an environment where it’s safe to ask questions, encouraging serendipity in the spaces between the sessions, and unique experiences such as workshops and walking tours where you’re encouraged to chat and work together.

 

shape your learning
Our content is ideal for fulfilling your professional CPD requirements on topics that range from high streets to sustainability. You can self-direct your day of groundbreaking experiences across several stages, with workshops and walking tours included making this an inspiring day out for the whole team.

 

festival atmosphere

It’s not just a name, we call it a festival because it has multiple stages and overlapping streams of content so that you can move in and out of sessions and shape your own day. We know the best part of a conference is that great conversation over coffee, so we’ve designed the whole experience to make this happen. The speakers and fringe events should give you plenty to talk about. The coffee is on tap. The rest is up to you.
