Event Programme Speakers Become a Partner What to Expect

This half-day virtual conference will focus on the thriving space industry and the impact this is having on the built environment and the construction industry.

Both Government and the private sector are investing heavily into the UK’s space sector at present – and this is creating a new frontier for the built environment industry to enter.

Funding and investment are creating space focused employment clusters and large scale employment hubs – with the UK now needing to build new capabilities and skills to support growth in the globally competitive commercial space market.

We’ll be joined by those at the forefront of this industry and look at the future opportunities and challenges.

This event will run in a similar manner to all of our physical events – with short presentations from several key speakers and opportunities for live Q&A and interaction.

Speakers for this event include:

Mike Curtis-Rouse,
Head of Manufacturing

Dr Joanna Hart,
Development Manager

Miles Carden,
Chief Executive Officer

John Topliss,
Head of Property & Capital Portfolio

Dr Adam Baker,
Technical Director

Angela Richardson,
Managing Director

Grant Bourhill,
