How can the public sector reshape its estate to deliver on sustainability, safety, and long-term strategic value?

The UK Government’s estate is one of the country’s largest and most complex property portfolios. As public services evolve to meet modern expectations, the demand for resilient, efficient, and future-ready estates has never been greater.

The Government Property Strategy 2022–2030 sets an ambitious path toward high-performing public assets, Net Zero delivery, smarter working environments, and optimised property management. With tightening budgets and growing backlogs, turning that vision into reality requires cross-sector collaboration, strong leadership, and data-informed decision-making.

The Second Public Sector Estates and Facilities Management Show 2025 will bring together key voices from central government, local authorities, arm’s-length bodies, and the wider public sector to explore how estates and FM teams can deliver better outcomes across the built environment.

The day opens with a keynote from Meredith May, Deputy Director at the Office of Government Property, examining progress and priorities for delivering the Government Property Strategy and how estates and FM leaders can align with its long-term vision.

The conference also features expert insights from CIPFA, NAO & DWP

Additional sessions will cover:

• Lessons from managing dangerous facilities, with a powerful case study from Grenfell and the prison estate

• Smart technologies and data tools that are transforming FM performance and planning

• Practical approaches to retrofitting public buildings for energy efficiency and Net Zero goals

• A panel session on cutting-edge infrastructure, shifting from reactive to strategic estate management

The event is free to attend for public and voluntary sector professionals working in estates, property, facilities, energy, or infrastructure leadership. Discounted places are available for private sector organisations  please contact us to secure your place.
