Event Information:

This virtual event will take a look at ongoing and future development and regeneration projects shaping the future vision for the East of England.

Towns and cities in the East of England are home to some of the most exciting and large scale regeneration initiatives in the UK.

Strategically located in close proximity to London and major infrastructure hubs and airports, the region is seeing an unprecedented level of growth with new towns set to be developed, thriving technology, innovation and education sectors which are retaining talent and boosting inward investment, and game-changing schemes being brought forward on levels never seen before.

Come and hear from some of those at the forefront of this transformational growth and discover how your organisation can be involved.
