About the Planning Convention 2013

Focusing on the key issue of growth, the 2013 Planning Convention will cover a broad vision of the future we should now be planning for, drilling down into the practical mechanisms planners on the ground are using to create growth.

This year, The Rt Hon Eric Pickles MP, Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, will deliver the keynote address and will be joined by leading edge speakers from across the industry.
