What UKREiiF does

UKREiiF (UK Real Estate Investment & Infrastructure Forum) is an annual three-day B2B conference and exhibition organised and published by Infopro Digital Services Limited, a private company registered in England and Wales. The event convenes 16,000+ professionals from national and local government, institutional investors, developers, occupiers, and the broader built environment industry at the Royal Armouries Museum and New Dock in Leeds City Centre. The 2025 edition runs 20-22 May 2025 and the 2026 edition is already on sale for 19-21 May 2026, demonstrating the event's annual recurring structure and forward growth cadence.

The underlying technology stack is built on the Eventmaker event management platform, extended by a mobile app launched for 2025 that lets delegates browse the programme, search the Delegate Directory, and connect with attendees. On-site infrastructure includes badge/QR scanning for exhibitor lead capture, delegate Wi-Fi, and a colour-coded zone navigation system across 60+ stages. The product surface comprises a tiered set of commercial offerings: exhibition stands (3m²-40m² at £6,185-£82,500+VAT), pavilion partnerships (from £25,000+VAT), thought leadership session sponsorships (£6,000-£17,500+VAT), private meeting and hospitality spaces, branding packages (lanyard, Wi-Fi, programme, water stations, digital media from £500-£26,000+VAT), fringe event sponsorships, and corporate partnership tiers (Platinum, Gold, Destination, Leaders Group from £5,000+VAT).

The business model is fundamentally event-driven and B2B, monetising concentrated attendance through one-time sponsorship and exhibition licensing deals rather than recurring SaaS contracts. Platinum, Gold, Destination, and several branding packages consistently sell out in advance, and the event claims representation of £300bn+ of investment opportunities, 1,250+ speakers, 1,750+ investors, 1,750+ developers, 275+ councils, and 1,000+ occupiers. Marquee partners include Pagabo (Platinum), Marks & Spencer (Gold), West Yorkshire Combined Authority (Destination), Legal & General, British Land, HSBC, Homes England, and HS2, with operational partners spanning Eventmaker (software), Royal Armouries Museum (venue), LNER (rail), CitiPark (parking), and First Bus (shuttle).

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• UKBAA (UK Business Angels Association): UK membership body running investment-focused events and awards for the angel and early-stage investment community. Partial overlap with UKREiiF's investor-attendee base, particularly RE/property angel investors and SMEs seeking capital.

Direct peers

• Bisnow: US-based commercial real estate media and events company running CRE summits across major US and UK markets. Closely comparable model combining newsletters, events, and conferences for the CRE community, mirroring UKREiiF's media-plus-event approach to real estate deal-making.
• Expo Real: Annual real estate and investment trade fair held in Munich by Messe München. Direct peer as a pan-European B2B forum connecting investors, developers, and real estate professionals with a similar sponsorship, exhibition, and conference revenue model to UKREiiF.
• MAPIC: Annual retail real estate event by RX focused on retail property and occupiers. Comparable to UKREiiF as a sector-specific B2B exhibition and conference for real estate deal-making, with overlapping attendee profiles (developers, investors, retailers/occupiers).
• Estates Gazette: Long-running UK commercial property media brand running awards, conferences, and networking events for the CRE industry. Comparable as a UK-focused RE information and events brand targeting investors, agents, and developers similar to UKREiiF's segments.
• MIPIM: World's largest real estate trade fair held annually in Cannes, operated by RX (Reed Midosem). Directly comparable to UKREiiF as a B2B real estate investment forum aggregating investors, developers, and government; UKREiiF is positioned as the UK's leading equivalent on a smaller, domestically focused scale.
• Property Week Events: Property Week (part of Metropolis International) runs B2B events and awards for the UK commercial property market including the Property Week Awards. Direct competitor for UK RE deal-maker mindshare and a media-plus-events platform with similar institutional client base.
• PERE (Private Equity Real Estate) Network: Pearson-owned global media and events platform for private equity real estate investors, running summits and forums in major financial centres. Direct comparable as a global RE-investor-focused event and media platform targeting the LP/GP community that UKREiiF also serves.

Regional players

• Place North West: UK regional property media and events business focused on the North West, running conferences and awards for the regional property market. Comparable to UKREiiF in event-driven RE media model, but primarily serving a different UK region rather than competing head-to-head in Leeds.

Broad incumbents

• ULI (Urban Land Institute) Conferences: Global membership-based real estate research and education organisation running major conferences (Annual Meeting, Fall Meeting) connecting developers, investors, and policymakers. Comparable to UKREiiF in convening the RE investment and policy ecosystem at scale, but operates globally with a much broader portfolio of activities.
