National Conference Centre / National Motorcycle Museum, Birmingham,

HS2 Economic Growth Conference 2018 | Event

DEVELOPING STATIONS, HUBS & CITIES

The HS2 Economic Growth Conference was a huge success – with 500 senior professionals from across the construction, property and investment sectors gathering in Birmingham to unlock the huge regeneration and development opportunities the infrastructure scheme will bring to the UK.

The emphasis of the conference was on collaboration – with the need to drive economic growth, the delivery of new homes, new jobs and more – and it’s safe to say our conference delivered!

With the support of HS2 and some major stakeholders in the industry we shared insights, exclusive information and business cards, with many new commercially rewarding relationships being forged at the event. Some of our speakers included:

LCR Midlands Connect Terry Morgan Leeds Constellation Partnership

Lendlease Euston Bruntwood Birmingham East Midlands Airport East Midlands West Solihull

Northern Powerhouse North Leeds Bradford

We’d like to say a huge thanks to all of those who attended, spoke, supported or partnered with us for the conference, and we’re set to host another exclusive HS2 event in 2019. Keep your eyes peeled!
