When: Tuesday 24 November 2009
Where: London

*** Full conference programme and speakers announced ***

'Making Sustainable Development Happen' will feature high profile speakers from the industry, politics and opinion leaders from the third sector, media and elsewhere. Delegates will be asked to roll up their sleeves and actively participate – we’ll be looking to make change happen, to have a real impact on Government and the industry.

Following the conference we will be holding our new Sustainability Awards reception, which will build on the success of previous years and again be a celebration of the very best examples of sustainable building the industry has to offer. It promises to be another memorable evening.
