SPF Annual Conference 2022

The SPF Annual Conference!

We're back with our first major in-person event since 2020. Under an overall theme of 'Invest in Opportunity', we will bring delegates together with other industry leaders, senior government officials and key stakeholders to debate and discuss the major topics of the day. See the tab above for details on confirmed keynote speakers and panellists.

The conference will also provide excellent networking opportunities, including an evening drinks reception. However, if you can't attend in person, an online-only option is available.  Our Annual Conference considers the key issues for the property industry in 2022 and beyond.

Along with our sponsors Pinsent Masons LLP and Robertson Group, we are delighted to offer a stellar list of panellists and keynote speakers. The event begins with an introduction from Minister for Business, Trade, Tourism and Enterprise, Ivan McKee MSP.

After opening speeches, we focus on the key issues facing the industry, and we are pleased to say we will be joined by Minister for Zero Carbon Buildings, Active Travel and Tenants’ Rights, Patrick Harvie MSP.
