The annual Joint Planning Law Conference (the JPLC - known as 'the Oxford conference') will once again bring together leading experts from across the four key professions within planning.

It’s attended each year by town planners, chartered surveyors, solicitors, barristers and developers. If you’re interested in planning and environmental issues, you’ll be in good company.

Learn

The conference offers a full programme with presentations from high-quality speakers, followed by lively discussions. Ahead of their presentations, you will receive a copy of an original research paper prepared by each speaker. Not only will these papers help to aid debate and understanding but they will become valuable reference materials for your practice.

Network

Known for its friendly atmosphere, the conference affords a rare opportunity for open and constructive debate among a diverse group of planning professionals at all stages in their careers. At the JPLC you can expect to expand your network, catch up with old friends and colleagues, and enjoy a genuine exchange of ideas.

Held in the stunning surroundings of Oxford, central accommodation is provided in the University’s New College and the conference activities take place in the Oxford Union Debating Chamber. The programme includes drinks receptions, two black-tie dinners and time to explore the beautiful city.
