Exploring the Future of our Built Environment at UKREiiF with Squaredot

The Squaredot team is thrilled to announce our participation in the UK's Real Estate Investment & Infrastructure Forum (UKREiiF) this May, being held in Leeds from the 20th to the 22nd. This annual event brings together a diverse range of professionals from across the built environment sector, fostering collaboration, sparking insightful discussions, and driving investment and regeneration across the UK.

UKREiiF has quickly established itself as a vital platform for thought leadership and engagement within the property and infrastructure industries. With a packed agenda spanning three days, the event offers a multitude of opportunities throughout the daytime and into the evening, delving into broad, pertinent topics, including commercial & workspace, education, diversity, inclusion, and social value, to name a few. It’s also an excellent chance to network with peers and gain valuable insights into the future of our built environment. With over 60 stages hosting more than 1,250 speakers, covering everything from sustainability and innovation to placemaking and investment strategies, we are expecting a vibrant atmosphere and a productive and inspirational few days.

Representing Squaredot at this year's UKREiiF will be David Kramer, Squaredot co-founder and director, and Joseph Huddleston, our Business Design Development Executive. They are both looking forward to engaging in dynamic discussions, connecting with industry colleagues, and exploring potential collaborations.

David is looking forward to the event for a few reasons, 

"In today's dynamic environment, a forum like UKREiiF is crucial for staying agile and informed. It provides a platform to delve into the critical issues and opportunities facing our industry. I'm anticipating some thought-provoking discussions and the chance to share Squaredot's perspective while learning from others.”

Joe adds,

“Alongside the networking and knowledge share available across the three days, UKREiiF crucially offers delegates the opportunity to pick up on key industry sentiment as well as thought leadership around key areas of interest such as workplace design, consultancy and user experience.”
