This in-person conference will be relevant for anyone who is involved in planning for, shaping, building, advising on, litigating about or providing services and funding for land, buildings, community services and infrastructure.

This conference from Landmark Chambers offers the chance to step back from the day-to-day business and explore the wider issues affecting how our land is planned, developed, used, funded and protected.

Bringing together the unique cross-sector expertise of Landmark’s barristers, the day will include a series of presentations from keynote speakers and an array of breakout sessions, which will allow you to participate in the debate and focus on areas that may be of special interest to you, or about which you are simply curious to know more.

Working in cross-disciplinary groups, Landmark’s specialist planning, property, environmental, public and rating barristers will share their thoughts and lead the debate on critical issues facing those involved in shaping the future of our communities.

The full programme and booking page may be accessed here.

Speakers throughout the day include:

Lord Carnwath CVO, David Elvin KC, David Holland KC, Jenny Wigley KC, Paul Brown KC, Rupert Warren KCDavid Forsdick KC, Tom Weekes KC, Matthew Reed KC, Samantha Broadfoot KC, Myriam Stacey KC, Toby Watkin KC, Alex Goodman KC, Richard Turney, Yaaser Vanderman, Luke Wilcox, Miriam Seitler, Siân McGibbon, Kimberley Ziya and Charles Bishop.
