Place doubles down on Midlands with expanded events in 2027

Place Media Group is significantly strengthening its Midlands presence, with a core calendar that spans the Midlands Property Lunch, the Midlands Real Estate Summit, and the Midlands Industrial & Logistics Summit.

Together, these events are designed to reflect the region’s central role in the UK economy, from city centre regeneration to logistics and manufacturing.

2027 Event Sponsorship Opportunities

Attendees in the Midlands can expect a mix of formats. The Midlands Property Lunch offers a content‑driven, senior networking environment where commentary on residential, commercial, and infrastructure‑led development sits alongside regional investment conversations.

The Midlands Real Estate Summit and Midlands Industrial & Logistics Summit both adopt the full‑day conference model, including breakfast and lunch, structured content, and post‑event drinks receptions that extend networking into the evening.

Each summit is supported by an exclusive Leaders Dinner for around 30 guests on the night before, giving speakers, sponsors, and senior public and private sector leaders the space for more candid, off‑record discussions.

For sponsors, the Midlands events open up a suite of partnership options. Full‑day summits offer Lead Partner, Premium Partner, and Event Partner packages, providing sector exclusivity, prominent branding, guaranteed speaking and panel roles at certain levels, curated guest passes, event tickets, and places at the Leaders Dinner and closing reception.

Sponsors also benefit from exhibition stands, product placement opportunities, host namechecks, banner advertising on Place platforms, feature and comment articles, branding in editorial write‑ups, and access to full delegate lists to support structured business development.

What sponsors receive

• Tiered sponsorship options that align spend with visibility, influence, and access
• Panellist opportunities at certain partnership levels, subject to editorial fit
• Curated invitations to targeted new‑business prospects, built around each event’s focus
• Leaders Dinners the evening before full‑day conferences, giving sponsors off‑record time with senior public and private sector figures
• Stronger on‑site presence through exhibition space, product placement and host acknowledgements
• Integrated editorial support and digital promotion, ensuring activity carries beyond the room

What guests receive

• More networking time in formats that encourage genuine conversation rather than passing encounters
• More learning through structured content that goes beyond surface‑level commentary
• Less travel, with a concentrated calendar and clearer reasons to attend each event
• More efficient use of time, with breakfast, lunch, full‑day and evening formats designed to deliver multiple outcomes in a single visit
• Bigger‑profile gatherings that bring together broader, more senior audiences from across the region and UK

Lunch sponsorship packages for the Midlands Property Lunch offer similar brand exposure, editorial support, and guest access tailored to that format.

Place is deliberately investing in the region’s full‑day and lunch formats to create environments that feel substantial enough to attract national and international attention, while still rooted firmly in Midlands priorities.
