RICS Rural Conference 2019 | RICS | 21 November 2019 | Preston Marriott Hotel, Garstang Rd, Broughton, Preston PR3 5JB, UK

As the UK prepares to leave the European Union and with the uncertainty surrounding the rural sector it is now more crucial than ever to engage and discuss with industry colleagues on how to build resilience in the sector. RICS Rural Conference comes back in Hexham and will provide you with a platform to discuss what the future of the rural sector might look like and how you can harness more commercial opportunities in the face of challenges and uncertainty.

A key discussion for this year will be on one of the government’s proposal – Public money for public goods – and how this new mechanism for land management would work in practice. Other sessions will include crucial legal updates such as the Electronic Communications Code and implications for landowners and mobile operators, rural planning and an update on permitted development rights amongst others.

Attend this conference to benefit from these high-level discussions, as well as ample networking opportunities with your peers in the industry.
