Given the scale of development challenges facing London, together with the wider funding environment, it has never been more important for housing, regeneration and economic development practitioners to come together to share best practice, develop innovative thinking, and invest in the next generation of sector leaders, to help deliver a sustainable and prosperous future for London.
Membership of Future of London is open to London Boroughs, Registered Providers, and other public bodies. Reflecting the difficult economic circumstances that we all face, we have reduced our membership fee for 2012/13 by over 50 per cent compared to previous years, down to £4,950. This fee is required to cover the organisations running costs, and represents fantastic value for money. We are also pleased to introduce a further membership offer for 2012/13, where organisations can purchase a two year membership, guaranteeing involvement in Future of London through to 2014 and accordingly additional places on our range of programmes, for just £8,910 – representing an additional 10 per cent discount.
Please note that access to the full range of Future of London events in 2012/13 will only be available to full members.

Become a Strategic Partner of Future of London
Future of London would like to work with private sector strategic partners to help develop its programmes, events and seminars for 2012 and beyond. As a key partner you will have the opportunity to be part of a core community of organisations that contribute to London’s future, discussing it and engaging with the key influencers in London, from public sector local authorities to central government organisations, and private sector developers, consultancies, house builders, and research organisations. You’ll get year round contact, enabling you to build relationships and impart your specialist knowledge.
We have worked with our strategic partners to develop packages providing value for them. We have developed programmes of specialist discussions with them, giving them the possibility for ‘thought leadership’ in their field of expertise, and putting them in front of a relevant regeneration audience in London.
We can do the same for you in 2012 and beyond.
For further details on how to become a strategic partner of Future of London please contact our Interim Director, Lisa Taylor.
