Sell-Out South Coast Property Conference Welcomes Thousands ousands of professionals and key decision makers from around the property and construction industry came together for this year’s South Coast CPS conference to discuss opportunities and growth in the region’s commercial and residential markets. e south coast industrial market and its investment opportunities, how to retain top young talent and hospitality, leisure and property regeneration were just some of the topics covered in the panel discussions – all centred around how to bring Bournemouth’s city centre to life. As well as more than 120 speakers, 37 diverse panel discussions, 78 exhibitors and CPD workshops, each of the mayoral candidates Donna Jones, Martin Tod, Lorna Fielker and Anna Collar attended the conference to discuss their plans and visions for the new Hampshire and the Solent combined authority. Chief Operating Officer at Bournemouth Town Centre BID Paul Kinvig said: “I was delighted to host the panel ‘Beyond Retail: Bringing Town & City Centres Back to Life’ at this year’s conference. It was an opportunity to look at how high streets and shopping centres are radically changing across the south. Retail remains a key part of reimagining town & city centres, however, the return of residents and town centre living will require increased multi-use, leisure, hospitality and amenity developments. It’s great to see the vision, talent and willingness in the room to make that happen.” Running for six years and held at St. Mary’s Stadium, the South Coast Property Show attracts some of the biggest names in the property, planning and construction industry, who come together to discuss the south coast’s future. Big speakers in attendance this year included representatives from Amazon and Barclays, who were able to bring their expertise to big issues a ecting the south coast. e conference’s dedicated app also saw record engagement this year with 1,067 active users interacting more than 540,000 times collectively throughout the day. Director of South Coast CPS Lucy Richmond said: “There was a huge buzz around the conference this year and I’m so proud of what we’ve achieved. I’d like to thank every sponsor, exhibitor, speaker and partner for their support. A big part of South Coast CPS is the enormous variety of specialisms we bring together under one roof – I’m so grateful to everyone who has helped our conference evolve and grow year on year.” South Coast CPS brings together professionals from across the south’s booming property, investment and development for a year-round schedule of events.
