Event Information

Perhaps the biggest challenge facing government property professionals during 2012 will be to ensure that ‘the business’ can keep running whilst at the same time significantly reducing and remodelling their estate. This will require exceptional attention to managing individual projects which form part of the overall transformation programme for the organisation. It will demand closer internal and external collaboration with other disciplines and sectors.

Many see the costs of relocating ICT to a ‘new home’ when considering co-location or indeed any move, as being the largest single factor which prevents such a move. What then can be done to remove this major stumbling block?

Marking its' 10th year, Government Property 2012, will address issues such as -

  • Project and programme management, are the skills still there?
  • A proactive approach to co-location
  • Big landlords or local deals?
  • Should ICT now drive property strategy?
  • Legal challenges to changing lease terms
  • Freehold disposals
  • Appropriate strategy for changing times
  • Workforce, work styles and the workplace.
  • Benchmarking
  • Space management

As in the past 10 years, the conference will feature high level, expert speakers from all areas of public service, private sector and academia who will address a pan-public sector audience drawn from property specialism and from those with a critical influence on the future of the public sector estate.

Recognised as the premier property event for the public sector, Government Property continues to offer the most credible platform for private sector solution providers. We look forward to meeting many old friends once again and also to welcoming those organisations who may be new to public sector business and have something innovative to offer.

Delegates for this conference will be recruited from three main areas:

  • Central Government Departments
  • Local Authorities
  • Wider Public Service (inc blue light)
