About this Event

York stands at a pivotal moment in its development story.

Major regeneration projects, significant investment opportunities and a renewed focus on economic growth are creating momentum across the city. At the same time, businesses, developers and policymakers are considering how investment, infrastructure, the visitor economy and the wider business community can work together to support York's next chapter.

This Chamber Property & Economic Forum brings together leaders from local government, development, tourism and hospitality to explore the opportunities shaping York's future and why businesses, investors and developers can be confident in the city's growth ambitions.

Join us as we discuss the projects, partnerships and sectors helping to drive York forward, and examine how the city is adapting to changing economic conditions while maintaining the qualities that make it one of the UK's most distinctive places to live, work, invest and visit.


Please note this will be held in De Grey Court, Room DG/125. YO31 7EX
