We’re pleased to confirm that GIA is continuing its partnership with YEP in 2026 as a corporate sponsor, reinforcing a shared commitment to supporting the next generation shaping the future of the real estate and built environment sectors.
At GIA, investing in emerging talent, encouraging collaboration and sharing practical expertise remain central to how we work. As specialists in rights of light, daylight & sunlight, wind analysis, solar PV and party wall and neighbourly matters, we operate across many of the same disciplines and development conversations as YEP. This partnership allows us to deepen connections, broaden our reach and contribute meaningfully to the evolving industry landscape.
YEP continues to play a vital role as one of the few free, cross-industry real estate networks, now connecting nearly 6,000 members across growing regional chapters including London, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, Sheffield, Exeter and Southampton. Its varied programme of events provides a platform for networking, skills development, collaboration and giving future industry leaders a stronger voice.
We’re proud to be part of YEP’s journey in 2026 and look forward to working together to support talent, unlock opportunity and drive positive change across the built environment.
Michelle Condon, CMO at GIA, said:
“YEP creates a platform where people, ideas and opportunity come together. I see this partnership as a natural alignment of our values – supporting talent, strengthening networks and contributing positively to the wider industry”.
