Join Women in Property Midlands for a CPD session entitled ‘Local Election Wrap Up’ followed by networking.

Attendees are invited to arrive at Interface’s offices located in The Colmore Building, 20 Colmore Circus Queensway at 17.00.

The CPD session will commence at 17.30, when we shall be hearing from Dominic Stanford and Jack Boyce from DevComms on the subject of the May 2025 local elections.

The CPD will provide an overview of the outcome of the elections, with a specific focus on the Midlands, and explore the implications the results are likely to have for the built environment sector, including;

• What happens when the party leading a local authority changes
• New Mayors and getting a Combined Authority off the ground
• The rise of Reform
• What next for the main parties?

Following the CPD there will be a Q&A session, after which attendees are invited to network over a few drinks and nibbles with fellow attendees and the team at DevComms.
