WHAT'S ON

From exclusive tours of innovative workspace to insightful discussions on new industry guidance or technology, to the latest research on what is impacting the design, development and operation of our workspaces, the BCO’s events calendar has it all. Our awards dinners and lunches are a celebration of all that is inspiring in the office sector and those who are leading the workplace evolution. Our annual Conference is an opportunity to debate the state of the industry and shape what’s to come.

BCO Headline events

The Honours Dinner celebrates one outstanding individual, nominated from within the BCO membership. It honours someone who has given their time, expertise and boundless energy in service of the organisation and the wider world of workspace.

The principal meeting place for members and a crucible for innovative thinking, the conference provides an extensive technical programme of plenary sessions, workshops and office tours. Taking place over 3 days in late spring/early summer, activities also include a welcome drinks reception, conference dinner or party, as well as an optional golf tournament and cycle challenge. Organised by the BCO Vice-President, the theme changes annually as well as the city location.

The annual President’s Party is the first major event which allows the membership to welcome the appointment of the new president. Join the BCO and your fellow members as we gather to celebrate and prepare for a jam-packed season of events, tours, research releases and networking opportunities.

Entries for the BCO Awards competition are welcomed in October and November. The regions then celebrate their winners at dedicated lunches and dinners during April and May. The programme then culminates at the National Awards Dinner which takes place on the first Tuesday in October. These events showcase the Awards entries, their project teams, and celebrates the very best in British office design.

The BCO NextGen Awards celebrate the achievements and successes of the under 35 young professionals in our sector. Since its introduction in 2016, the NextGen Awards have continued to grow and are now an established highlight of the year for the BCO NextGen community, taking place annually in early November.
