Professional conferences and briefings
SPD’s third University Estates and Facilities Conference: Improving Conditions and Standards conference seeks to truly bridge the gap between commissioning and resourcing while focusing on strategies to manage the priority of doing more for less and ensuring world-class facilities are available on campus for students. With an emphasis on collaboration, the agenda will be built around practical examples on key topics including: capital funding, social value, security, sustainability, meeting student expectations and supplier project engagement.
Researched and developed with leading quangos and university estate and facility professionals, this is the only conference designed to facilitate understanding and collaboration between the two entities by offering insight, guidance and captivating both change and progress within university estate and facilities’ landscapes. By offering a mix of practical advice as well as discussion of the strategic issues – we aim to ensure delegates leave the event with plenty of ideas and opportunities to implement within their organisation.
