Events across the Branches
As we turn our focus to upcoming IHBC Branch events, we begin with the North West Branch who will be hosting a hybrid event on Placemaking and Context in Lancaster on 6 August, part of the IHBC’s CPD Branch Partnership service.
Looking ahead to September, the South East Branch invite you to join them for an in-person training day onFire Protection and Regulation in Tunbridge Wells on the 19 September, also part of the IHBC’s CPD Branch Partnership service, meanwhile the West Midlands Branch will be in Burslem on the 23 September for their event which will explore the Regeneration and Viability of Heritage Assets.
In October, there are a further two opportunities to explore the highly relevant and sometimes challenging IHBC CPD Branch Partnership service topic of Fire Protection and Regulations in the context of historic buildings, as the South Branch host their event Newbury on the 10 October, followed by the East Anglia Branch AGM 2025 and Training Day in Bury St Edmunds on 22 October.
