Partner Pippa Beesley and associates Signe Sparne and Joe Maloney from Russell-Cooke's real estate planning and construction team reflect on their time at UKREiiF 2024.
The UK’s Real Estate Investment and Infrastructure Forum (UKREiiF) is a fast-growing annual convention held in Leeds focusing on all things related to real estate, development and construction. The convention lasts for three days offering invaluable opportunities for learning, networking, and collaboration.
Valuable networking opportunities
Naturally, at the heart of the convention is the valuable opportunity to engage in meaningful networking. The convention provided a platform for connecting with existing contacts, allowing us to strengthen and deepen these relationships. Engaging with familiar faces and discussing ongoing projects reinforced our collaborative spirit and emphasised the importance of maintaining strong industry connections.
Making new connections
In addition to reconnecting with old contacts, we were excited to meet many new industry professionals. Notable new connections were made, opening doors to potential future collaborations.
Industry insights and trends
UKREiiF also offered a wide variety of seminars providing insights into the industry and emerging trends. The knowledge and discussions throughout the event highlighted key trends shaping our industry. Understanding these trends helps us stay ahead of the curve and continue delivering sound and tailored advice to our clients.
Conclusion
In conclusion, despite heavy downpours and having to spend Wednesday hiding under umbrellas UKREiiF 2024 was an enriching experience for our team and we left feeling positive about the market place and invigorated by all the fantastic connections we made. The value gained from engaging with industry peers, both old and new, cannot be overstated. We are grateful for the opportunity to participate in such a great event and we are already planning our attendance at UKREiiF 2025.
