Hosted at Birmingham City Council on Victoria Square, the forum is designed to help practices stay ahead of product and specification developments while earning accredited CPD hours.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.78; color: #2a2a2a; margin: 0 0 20px 0;\">The format centres on 15-minute &#8216;Meet the Expert&#8217; sessions, with attendees moving between 15 specialist suppliers across the afternoon. Each session is tailored to be informative and practical, covering products, systems and specifications relevant to current architectural projects. The relaxed, face-to-face format encourages genuine conversation and follow-up rather than passive presentation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.78; color: #2a2a2a; margin: 0 0 28px 0;\">Tickets are free but strictly reserved for architects, property developers and house builders \u2014 ensuring that all attendees share a professional context and that supplier conversations are directly relevant. Places are limited, so early registration is recommended for those wishing to secure a spot.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 1px; background: linear-gradient(90deg,#97D422 0%,transparent 100%); margin: 28px 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background: #f7f7f5; border-radius: 12px; padding: 18px 22px; margin: 0 0 28px 0; display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: space-between; flex-wrap: wrap; gap: 12px; border: 1px solid #ebebeb;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"font-size: 9px; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: 1px; text-transform: uppercase; color: #999; margin-bottom: 3px;\">Admission<\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size: 22px; font-weight: 900; color: #1a1a1a; letter-spacing: -0.5px;\">Free<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a style=\"display: inline-block; background: #97D422; color: #0f0f0f; font-size: 13px; font-weight: 800; padding: 12px 22px; border-radius: 50px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/the-birmingham-architects-forum-tickets-1986195859282\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Register Free \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"border-radius: 12px; overflow: hidden; box-shadow: 0 4px 20px rgba(0,0,0,0.1);\">\n<div style=\"background: #1a1a1a; padding: 10px 16px; display: flex; align-items: center; gap: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"width: 7px; height: 7px; border-radius: 50%; background: #97D422; flex-shrink: 0;\"><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #fff; font-size: 9px; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: 1px; text-transform: uppercase;\">Birmingham City Council, Victoria Square<\/span><\/div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: 0; display: block;\" src=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=Birmingham+City+Council+Victoria+Square+Birmingham&amp;output=embed\" width=\"100%\" height=\"400\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A free CPD forum for architects and property developers in Birmingham \u2014 combining RIBA-accredited professional development with supplier specification meetings and networking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":11211,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","footnotes":""},"categories":[44,19,56,80],"tags":[],"location":[97],"class_list":["post-11188","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-architecture-events","category-events","category-talks-panels-and-lectures","category-uk-events","location-birmingham"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11188","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/users\/20"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11188"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11188\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11244,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11188\/revisions\/11244"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/media\/11211"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11188"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11188"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11188"},{"taxonomy":"location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/location?post=11188"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
