Event Details
Following the success of our 2025 conference, we are delighted to be returning to Edgbaston Stadium for #CFP26! The full day conference will focus on the big challenges and opportunities facing the West Midlands region, and will centre around our 4 areas of research: Housing and Communities, Infrastructure, Employability and Skills, and Digital.
With special thanks to our key sponsors, AtkinsRealis, Unity Trust Bank, West Midlands Housing Association Partnership (WMHAP) and E.ON for making this event for the region possible.
This conference will be our most ‘interactive’ to date with panel discussions at a minimum and group discussions and interactive sessions available wherever we have been able to! Make sure you are part of the region’s conversation.
