Joint Planning Law Conference
At the forefront of planning
The only residential conference that is
specifically targeted at barristers, lawyers,
planners and surveyors
Jointly organised by members of the Law Society,
the Bar Council, the Royal Town Planning Institute
and the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, it
is attended by over 200 practitioners from the four
key professions that specialise in town and country
planning.
This residential conference is a unique opportunity
to learn and socialise in an informal environment
and in the wonderful grounds of Oxford University
- New College (accommodation and dinners) and
the Oxford Union Debating Chamber (conference).
The mix of speakers, delegates and official
guests provides a rare opportunity to discuss
topical issues facing the development industry
with experts in the field throughout the weekend
(during the formal conference at the Oxford Union,
breakfasts, lunch, dinners and drinks at the bar).
In addition to the presentations at the weekend,
each speaker is required to produce a formal
paper. These papers are widely used by delegates
as seminal research in the field. The conference
is a not for profit event and is organised over the
course of the year by a dedicated committee
comprising representatives of the four professions.
This ensures continually high quality and topical
papers relevant to all.
Who should attend
Town planners, chartered surveyors, solicitors,
barristers and developers with an interest in
planning and environmental issues. Whether you
are at the top of your profession or on your way up
the ladder, there is something for everyone.
