‘Supercharged’ IRPM Annual Seminar at QEII Westminster - 13th June 2019

The biggest changes to residential property management in a generation are soon upon us. New laws, new codes, new qualifications, new regulation, new best practice and more…

How will all this work out for you? What will that mean for your business, your team, your career, your customers? Who will have to be qualified, and to what level? Which sectors will be regulated? How will you be regulated? Will life be better or worse? Are we witnessing, finally, the ascendency of property professionals and professionalism?

If ever there was a year to come to the biggest event of its kind in the block and build-to-rent management sectors, it is this year! Five years from now, we will look back in wonder at the seismic changes which are just starting to crystallise.

...

The IRPM Annual Seminar has always been a legendarily friendly and positive event. The perfect opportunity to hear the latest legal, policy and best practice updates, meet with industry specialists at the exhibition and catch up with your peers and colleagues.  For 2019, that tradition is supercharged with the sector’s leading lights (Dame Judith Hackitt, Lord Best, Mark Prisk MP, Prof Nick Hopkins of the Law Commission, Roger Hardwick and Bukola Obadun-Craigs of Brethertons, MIND the mental health charity and many more) giving genuine thought leadership, relevant in-depth insight and practical guidance for property management professionals.
