Back to Basics: Corporate occupier conference

Back to Basics is Shoosmiths’ annual corporate occupier conference, offering an action-packed day of panel discussions, Q&A sessions, technical training, and the latest legal and market updates. The event concludes with a lively evening drinks reception, perfect for networking.

Each year, the conference explores different themes and topics to ensure the content remains engaging, relevant, and valuable for attendees.

This year, the focus was on the future. Shoosmiths’ legal specialists, together with experts from national industry and trade organisations and corporate occupiers, shared insights on key topics including new government reforms, the critical role of energy provision, and how technology and power purchase agreements can help futureproof property portfolios. The conference also explored evolving workspaces and the innovations shaping the spaces of tomorrow.

The event provides five hours of free CPD and is open to property professionals, including those in legal roles, from corporate businesses across various sectors.

Past editions of the conference have been supported by Grice Collins Long, Mason Partners, British Property Federation, British Retail Consortium, Property Managers Association, and Wilberforce Chambers.

...a really enjoyable conference last week... as a serial attender of events such as these this one really stuck out as being very well run, full of great content and rounded off with a lovey drinks event where I managed to bump into two people I haven’t seen for nearly 30 years...

...a big thank you to you and the rest of the Shoosmiths team for organising a very enjoyable and informative conference programme - certainly went away with lots to think about.
