The UK’s Real Estate Investment and Infrastructure Forum, also known as UKREiiF, is the UK's leading event within the real estate, property and infrastructure sectors. The event aims to connect people, places and businesses to drive sustainable and inclusive investment. It brings together key decision makers from every area of the built environment and its focus on regeneration and driving development makes a positive impact on communities, economic growth, and prosperity. It’s a major 3-day event taking over the city of Leeds, featuring inspirational talks, high-level speakers and influential attendees, fringe events, and new business opportunities. This year’s UKREiiF is expected to host more than 12,000 delegates.
The RTPI will join UKREiiF and participate in a number of public speaking events to raise the profile of planning and the important role planners play in creating sustainable and vibrant communities. We will be engaging with Ministers, Mayors and leaders in the sector to build support for planning. We'll also be promoting our “It Takes Planners &” campaign alongside our 2024 Planifesto.
