Venue:
Livery Hall,
Guildhall,
London EC2V 7HH

NLA’s second Innovation Summit will explore the evolving landscape of the innovation economy across London. The Summit will address how the innovation sector can respond to the shifts of London’s next cycle of reinvention and meet the mission of the newly launched London Growth Plan as it focuses on opportunities for its people through place-based approaches and inclusive physical infrastructure.  

Hosted in the Livery Hall within the Guildhall complex, the NLA Innovation Summit will be a key moment to bring distinguished leaders across local government and the built environment together to influence the future of innovation in London. It is a chance to exchange insights on best practice and engage in meaningful discussions about collaborative efforts to address the most pressing urban issues.
