Our programme

Against the backdrop of an impactful 12 months, Muse and our partners in regeneration, architecture, technology, sustainability, and investment will be providing expert reflections and industry-leading perspectives, as well as exploring the future of property – uncovering opportunities that will shape how we build, fund, and live in tomorrow’s spaces.

The theme – ‘break new ground’ – will discuss the cutting-edge solutions that are being employed by Muse and our partners across the towns and cities we work in.

From eco-friendly design and smart technologies to creative funding models and dynamic partnership structures, we are platforming bold ideas and fresh perspectives which are helping to transform communities.
