BPF/Historic England Annual Seminar - The Creative Power of Heritage in Growing the Economy

Join the British Property Federation and Historic England for our annual policy seminar looking at how heritage and the creative industries can work together to deliver economic growth.

During the seminar, we will hear from senior representatives from Historic England on how historic buildings offer flexible and distinctive environments that attract creative industries, and from BPF members on how to deliver successful reuse schemes that grow local economies.

We're delighted that the seminar will be taking place in-person this year at Pinsent Masons. We hope to see many of you there!
