Welcome to UHEI
Now celebrating its 10th year, the UHEI Conference & Exhibition Series has established itself as a leading, highly interactive set of regional events for higher education and healthcare estate professionals across the UK.
The UHEI Conference & Exhibition Series 2026 offers sector colleagues the opportunity to access the latest policy developments, explore emerging initiatives in estate management, sustainable buildings, smarter working, and the technologies shaping the future of the built environment.
Our regional format creates a more personal, collaborative environment than large-scale national events. Exhibitors and delegates alike value the quality of engagement, with deeper conversations and stronger connections with both existing and potential clients.
