This year the British Council for Offices 2015 Annual Conference will take place in Chicago, home to the first skyscraper and birthplace of the modern office. Chaired by David Partridge, the BCO’s Senior Vice President, Chicago 2015 has the tile Cities – Past, Present and Future Perfect, and promises an irresistible mix of content.

The top line-up of plenary speakers will include David Blanchflower, a former member of the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee and now Professor of Economics at Dartmouth College, Robert Guest, American Editor at the Economist, Howard Tullman, CEO 1871 Chicago and Bernice Boucher, MD JLL.

Chicago 2015 will mark the BCO’s 25th birthday, and promises to be a very special event.

Add to this the welcome reception, conference dinner and fringe events, it becomes an irresistible mix. BCO members benefit from a discounted delegate rate, with further discounted offers to NextGen and Occupier members and US-based delegates.
