Congress Information

The Call for Presentations is now OPEN!

The Public Sector Estates Congress is the premier event for professionals responsible for managing, developing and transforming public sector estates. This CPD-accredited congress brings together senior estate leaders, government officials and industry experts to discuss best practices, emerging trends and innovative solutions.

Public sector estates are under increasing pressure to deliver cost-efficient, sustainable and future-proofed infrastructure. The Congress provides a vital platform for knowledge sharing and collaboration, helping attendees to optimise estate management, reduce carbon footprints and align with the government’s net-zero targets.

Do you have a compelling case study, innovative project or practical solution transforming the way we manage public estates?

Share your insights, research and best practice with decision-makers and professionals shaping the future of our public estate. Submitting is easy - simply click on the link, register and complete the form. You do not have to submit a finalised presentation. You can save a draft and return to it as many times as you like before you submit. Your submission will be reviewed by our Advisory Group and we'll keep you updated throughout the process.
