The UK’s future as a Home for Science and Innovation

Innovation is the product of an ecosystem, and our cities have the power to bring the right organisations, people, and ideas together to accelerate progress.  Lendlease and world-leading scientific voices discuss the collaborative model deployed at the Milano Innovation District (MIND) and how its principles can be applied in the UK to secure its place as a global leader in science and innovation.

UKREiiF Sector Insights: Why is Retail a Dirty Word?

Whilst there are numerous types of offices and warehouses, the words are accurate descriptions of what these buildings do and the purpose they serve. However, the term retail is narrow and does not reflect the role retail property plays in towns and cities across the country. “Retail” is everything from what we eat, how we entertain ourselves, where we sleep to how we keep fit and healthy; it has an impact on all aspects of our lives. Does pigeonholing retail property therefore have to end? Is a rebrand of the word needed? Join national thought leaders for a definitive discussion and Q&A!

Private Venues and Private Spaces

We know that this is a desire to host private events across the city – whether it be roundtables or networking receptions. To make this easier we’ve been working with Leeds City Council to list some of the available locations across the city for those who are less familiar with Leeds.

We actively encourage official fringe event activity and for those looking to run events please speak to us to ensure you’re not running unofficial events – official events well entice a high quality audience and also ensure delegates attend your events whereas unofficial events tend to have a low attendance turnout.

Press and Media at UKREiiF

At UKREiiF 2023 we had 40+ press publications in attendance from the main industry trade titles to national press.

These will be back in abundance for 2024 and we also have broadcasters set to be at the event, and we have a designated press area. We would ask that if you’re interested in launching and sharing news at UKREiiF or connecting with our press/media contacts then please get in touch via david.gilbank@built-environment-networking.com.

Those who attended in 2023 included:

The venue at UKREiiF is large – with over 10,000 delegates expected for our 2024 event it’s good to try and understand the event layout ahead of attending, in addition to the wider city. Below is a bit of an overview into what to expect and where to find the key areas at the event…

The Site

The event isn’t at a specific conference centre and therefore the event has a number of entry points, all of which are fenced and gated with security to check details to enter. Those entry points (subject to change) are below and more details will be shared before the event takes place. Further to this below we highlight some of the key areas across the site to help you understand where core areas such as our stages, pavilions and exhibition halls can be found.

Growth Areas

We are seeing exponential growth of UKREiiF and therefore we’re growing the site further to accommodation this – highlighted below with all areas in green. This includes a large increase on Pavilions in comparison to 2023 and the incorporation of The Boulevard which has spaces such as restaurants, cafes and bars now being incorporated into the restricted zones.

We will share further information in due course on the site once more specific details are confirmed.
