UK&I Telecoms Conference

Overview

Join industry leaders, policymakers, and technical experts at the RICS Telecoms Conference return to London, an essential forum for professionals shaping the future of the UK’s digital infrastructure. As the telecoms landscape continues to evolve at pace, this conference provides a comprehensive, up‑to‑date view of the legal, technological, commercial, and regulatory forces redefining the sector.

Through a carefully curated programme, delegates will gain critical insights into the opportunities and challenges presented by next‑generation networks, including 5G evolution and the emergence of satellite‑enabled mobile coverage. These innovations are transforming connectivity across urban and rural environments alike, creating new models for infrastructure deployment while raising important questions around investment, valuation, and stakeholder engagement.

A central focus of the conference is the changing legal and regulatory environment, with expert guidance on recent case law, access rights, and the practical implications of legislation such as the Building Safety Act. Attendees will develop a clearer understanding of how these changes impact site acquisition, management, and negotiations, enabling them to operate with greater confidence and compliance in a complex landscape.

In addition, the programme explores market dynamics and structural change across the telecoms ecosystem. Through panel discussions and an industry-led fireside chat, delegates will examine the evolving roles of operators, infrastructure providers, and aggregators, alongside the growing importance of collaboration and efficiency in delivering network expansion.

A dedicated session on the fixed-line sector will highlight key trends in fibre rollout, addressing delivery challenges, competitive pressures, and opportunities to accelerate deployment. Alongside this, a thought-provoking valuation panel will provide diverse perspectives on how telecoms assets are assessed in a rapidly shifting market, equipping attendees with practical insights to inform commercial decision-making.

Importantly, the conference recognises the critical role of landowners and stakeholders in enabling connectivity. Delegates will gain a deeper appreciation of landowner perspectives, particularly in rural contexts, and learn strategies to improve engagement, foster cooperation, and facilitate successful access agreements.
