Dear Industry Colleagues
Welcome to Regen, the 3rd Annual free-to-attend Exhibition, Conference & Networking Event for the UK Regeneration Industry.
Regen was launched 3 years ago and is now firmly established as the regeneration industry’s leading forum. Urban & rural regeneration is a massive industry in its own right, and continues to transform the prosperity of every town and city in the UK.
