The UK’s Real Estate Investment & Infrastructure Forum (UKREiiF) will remain in Leeds, returning in May 2027.

Nathan Spencer, managing director at UKREiiF, said: "Leeds has been an exceptional home for UKREiiF, and the enthusiasm, growth, and collaboration we’ve experienced here made the decision to return in 2027 an easy one.

"The support we’ve received from Leeds City Council, the West Yorkshire Combined Authority, Allied London and The Royal Armouries has been instrumental in our success, creating the foundations for an event that grows in scale and impact each year."

UKREiiF, launched in 2022, has become a major platform for the UK’s built environment sector, attracting more than 16,000 delegates each year.

The event has contributed more than £60 million to the local economy.

James Lewis, leader of Leeds City Council, added: "We are delighted to be able to continue to welcome UKREiiF back to Leeds for the next two years.

“We are immensely proud to continue to play a part in its remarkable growth, from a local startup to its current position as the UK’s largest place conference."
