Step Connect2, an independent organizer known for the UK exhibition Education Estates, has expanded its portfolio with the introduction of The European Universities Estates Congress in Amsterdam[^1]. This new event is set to take place on 26-27 February 2025 at RAI Amsterdam and will occur biennially[^1]. It is designed to bring together professionals directly employed in universities, who can attend for free, while private-sector delegates will be subject to a fee[^1]. The congress aims to foster discussions on key topics such as refurbishment and retrofit, good estate management, net zero, sustainability, health and wellbeing, and technology and AI[^1].
The choice of Amsterdam as the host city aligns with its reputation for housing some of Europe’s most innovative universities[^1]. Exhibitors at the congress will include architects, consultants, contractors, and suppliers, all catering to the needs of university estates[^1]. The event is expected to attract a diverse audience of estates professionals, architects, and consultants, providing a platform for exchanging solutions to common challenges and sharing successful strategies[^1].
James Lee, CEO and co-founder of Step Connect2, expressed enthusiasm about the launch, highlighting the company’s expertise and connections within the sector and the collaboration with the University Design Forum[^1]. He emphasized the unique opportunity for university estates professionals across Europe to come together and learn from one another’s experiences[^1]. Interested parties are encouraged to visit the event’s website to stay informed and register for updates[^1].
