#CFP26 will be the 4th Annual Conference delivered by the Centre for the New Midlands. Our primary areas of research interest are Housing and Communities; Digital environment; Employability and Skills, Infrastructure. It is being hosted at Edgbaston Stadium on 16th July 2026.
We want to hear your thoughts on the BIG questions that a regional conference, with 250 of the region's key stakeholders in attendance, should be focussed on. As with all of our major events, a conference steering group will determine the structure and content of the day - your thoughts will be fed into the planning sessions to ensure our content is as relevant and as informed by the region as possible.
