Now in its 14th year, IPD’s Occupier’s conference has established itself as the UK’s leading event for property occupiers, their advisors and suppliers.

This year's theme is 'working smarter in a changing world'. How should Real Estate be responding to an uncertain environment and changing business? This year’s event explores some of the ways we can leverage solutions from the market and convert challenges into opportunities. One way is through smarter working and the other is by confronting the challenge of  sustainability by turning it into an opportunity for the business.

In our last session we explore what the future holds for outsourcing. The final debate asks which method is best; developing solid relationships with suppliers or keeping it fresh through regular tendering?
