Festive Research Seminar - 7th December
3pm-5pm | 7th Dec
Online or in-person @ Manchester Metropolitan University Business School
A tradition at the Institute, we gather together as friends and place professionals - online and in-person - every festive season for a celebratory seminar looking back on the last 12 months and ahead to the new year.
The seminar has plenty of new place ideas and research to digest, with lightening presentations and interactive elements helping our members to join the conversation and influence IPM's thinking. If you can't be in Manchester, at the Institute, for mulled drinks and mince pies, then get yourself comfortable with festive refreshments at home or work and dial in via our Zoom link.

Place Management and Leadership - 17 January 24
Masterclass: Place management and leadership is now seen as the key component in the successful recovery and transformation of towns and cities. Whilst funding, planning and other technical specialisms (like planning and design) are important, places need committed people to inspire, collaborate and coordinate action.
This masterclass strengthens the knowledge and capacity of local leaders from local authorities, BIDs, business and the wider community to become effective place leaders.
