The next People-Innovation-Place Summit #PIPbyWiP will take place at the Lowry Hotel, Salford on 23rd April 2026. We will be exploring the theme ‘Inspiring Innovation’ and, once again, will be bringing you engaging speakers from the built environment sector and beyond, with panel discussions to get you thinking outside the box and workshops that will challenge and enlighten you. And, of course, there will be lots of opportunity to network, meet old friends and make new contacts. Our sincere thanks to our headline sponsor CIVIC, Gold sponsor SLR Consulting, Breakfast Reception sponsor LUC and Drinks Reception sponsor WSP whose support helps make this event possible.
