Yorkshire in focus: New summit leads Place’s 2027 events push
Place Media Group is giving Yorkshire a more prominent role in its national programme with the Yorkshire Real Estate Summit at its heart. The new, full‑day format reflects the scale, diversity, and momentum of the regional market, bringing together public and private sector leaders from across Leeds, Sheffield, York, Hull, and beyond.
2027 Event Sponsorship Opportunities
For attendees, the summit on Thursday 4 February 2027 is built as a single day that covers market intelligence, policy direction, investment appetite, and on‑the‑ground delivery. The full‑day conference format includes breakfast and lunch, panel discussions, case studies, and practical sessions designed to connect decision-makers around live projects and future pipeline.
Delegates also benefit from a closing drinks reception that extends conversations beyond the formal programme and offers a more relaxed space to build relationships.
Sponsors in Yorkshire gain access to the same elevated structure Place is rolling out across its 2027 calendar. Lead Partner, Premium Partner, and Event Partner packages provide sector exclusivity, brand billing across all marketing, speaking, or panel roles at certain levels, curated guest passes, and exhibition opportunities. Support is amplified through dedicated editorial content, banner advertising on Place platforms, visible branding in event write‑ups, event photography, and full delegate lists to support post‑event business development.
What sponsors receive
- Tiered sponsorship options that align spend with visibility, influence, and access
- Panellist opportunities at certain partnership levels, subject to editorial fit
- Curated invitations to targeted new‑business prospects, built around each event’s focus
- Leaders Dinners the evening before full‑day conferences, giving sponsors off‑record time with senior public and private sector figures
- Stronger on‑site presence through exhibition space, product placement, and host acknowledgements
- Integrated editorial support and digital promotion, ensuring activity carries beyond the room
What guests receive
- More networking time in formats that encourage genuine conversation rather than passing encounters
- More learning through structured content that goes beyond surface‑level commentary
- Less travel, with a concentrated calendar and clearer reasons to attend each event
- More efficient use of time, with breakfast, lunch, full‑day, and evening formats designed to deliver multiple outcomes in a single visit
- Higher‑profile gatherings that bring together broader, more senior audiences from across the region and UK
As well as the Yorkshire Real Estate Summit, the Yorkshire story will feature prominently in the new-look Northern Residential Summit and Northern Industrial & Logistics Summit, as well as economic forecasting lunches in the middle and end of the year.
Our commitment to growing the North of England presence at MIPIM in March will continue, and a busy UKREiiF remains in the calendar of activity for Place Media Group.
