A wonderful occasion to celebrate with colleagues. \nFULL PROGRAMME \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOxPropFest Partners 2023\n\n\n\n\nOxPropFest (12th September) will be held at Keble College again and include Day Experiences and Awards. \nIf you’d like to become a sponsor in 2023 please contact us 0203 478 7340 or  info@ukpropertyforums.com \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWALKS\n13.45 – 16.00 \nAfter two years very successful years at Bicester Motion\, OxPropFest is returning to Keble College\, Oxford. Using the backdrop of this unique location in the middle of Oxford’s Knowledge Quarter\, we have developed a choice of Walks reflecting the unique changes which are happening in the world of property in Oxford. Cost £55+VAT. \nAll aboard the OxProp open top! \nDelegates will be able to visit all of the projects by open top bus and with a guided commentary from the project sponsors as an introduction before a brief tour of the developments\, subject to time constraints. The Walks have kindly been supported by Oxford Buses and Oxford Innovation. \nDETAILS: \nMeeting at The H B Allen Centre (25 Banbury Road)\, delegates will be hosted by Oxford Innovation that manages the Grassroots Workspace located in the basement. We shall then get on board the bus and visit Oxford North visitors centre\, the proposed triangle development for Oxford Football Club\, view the masterplan for Begbroke Science Park\, visit the Innovation Quarter at Oxford Technology Park in Kidlington before we head back to Keble College. \nTIMINGS: \nWe shall meet at The H B Allen at 1.45pm and return to this location by 4.15pm (ish)\, in time for attendees to get ready for the evening awards. Maximum numbers 40. \nNB UK Prop Social Members: limited to two places per company if not attending the evening awards evening and four places if attending the awards evening. Non-members must purchase a ticket for the bus tour. Finally\, due to reasons beyond our control\, we have had to re-arrange Walk One as previously advertised and consolidate the Walks. \n\n  \n  \nOxPropFest is a Black Tie Dinner to be held at Keble College in Oxford. The venue can seat 308 people for the dinner and we are now taking bookinXThe cost of each Awards + Music ticket includes a reception drink upon arrival\, three course meal\, and of course access to the College Bar afterwards. OxPropFest has become one of the largest property dinners outside London with many excellent reviews. \n\nCarbon Footprint\nIn the design and implementation of the awards\, we will strive to reduce the carbon footprint of this event. For example\, the decision on the location of the venue is in close proximity to public transport stations\, the use of digital ticketing in all aspects of event management\, the limited use of paper where possible\, the provenance of the food served and the design of the awards\, which will be made of recycled or sustainable materials. As the event approaches\, we will incorporate initiatives into the event.

SUMMARY:Unpacking the Paradox of the Perfection Trap
DESCRIPTION:Unpacking the Paradox of the Perfection Trap with speaker Thomas Curran. \nWe live in a society that continually broadcasts the need to want more\, from our personal to our working lives\, it incessantly promotes this idea of desire. And the way we achieve this goal? We must be perfect. \nWe’re also witnessing an alarming surge in burnout and depression. These record levels are caused by this perpetual strive for perfection\, we are stuck in a trap – but how can we escape it? \nJoin Thomas Curran as he explores the Paradox of the Perfection on everything from performance to social and financial inequality. He shows what we can do as individuals to resist the modern-day pressure to be perfect. \nDiscover what you need to prioritise\, meet the world where it is and strive for purpose instead of more by embracing the power of ‘good enough’ in your life. \nCopies of Thomas’ latest book ‘The Perfection Trap: The Power of Good Enough in a World That Always Wants More’ will be available to purchase from Amazon and all good bookstores. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent type\nThis is a livestream event where the speaker and audience come together online. \nYou will have priority access to the recorded video for two weeks after the event has taken place. \nAbout Thomas Curran \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThomas Curran is a British Psychological Society chartered social psychologist\, and Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychological and Behavioural Sciences at the London School of Economics and Political Science. His primary area of expertise is the personality characteristic of perfectionism\, how it develops\, and how it impacts mental health. His most notable work is the theory of cultural influences on perfectionism\, which rose to especial prominence following a 2017 publication of the first systems-level cohort study to show that perfectionism is on the rise in American\, Canadian\, and British college students. \nHe is the author of over 30 published papers and book chapters on related topics and he has received numerous awards for his scholarship and research. Informed by his research and expertise in data analysis\, he has previously lectured to undergraduates in the UK and Australia. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTiming for the livestream\nThe live stream will go live at 6.55pm\, and the introduction will begin at 7.00pm.

SUMMARY:Digital Technology and the Natural Environment
DESCRIPTION:Digital Technology and the Natural Environment\n  \n\n\n\nSpeaker\nProf. Gordon S. Blair\, Head of Environmental Digital Strategy\, UKCEH. \nAgenda\n7:30pm – Presentation begins.\n9:00pm – Event ends. \nSynopsis\nContemporary digital technologies can make a profound impact on our understanding of the natural environment in moving toward sustainable futures. Examples of such technologies included sources of new data (e.g.\, an environmental Internet of Things)\, the ability to storage and process the large datasets that will result from this (e.g.\, through cloud computing)\, and the potential of data science and AI to make sense of these data alongside human experts. \nHowever\, these same trends pose a threat to sustainable futures through\, for example\, the carbon footprint of digital technology and the risks of this escalating through the very trends mentioned above. \nThis talk will explore this ‘tale of two cities’\, reflecting on my experiences of my work at UKCEH where I explore the role of digital innovation in supporting contemporary environmental science\, whilst also being aware of the potential negative impact of such technologies on the very environment we are seeking to understand and steer towards more sustainable futures. \nThe talk will conclude with thoughts on how these two perspectives can be reconciled in Digital Technology and the Natural Environment. \nAbout the speaker\nProf. Gordon Blair \nProf. Gordon Blair is Head of Environmental Digital Strategy at UKCEH. He is also a Distinguished Professor of Distributed Systems at Lancaster University where he holds a part-time post (20%). He is also Co-Director of the Centre of Excellence in Environmental Data Science (CEEDS)\, a joint initiative between UKCEH and Lancaster University. \nHis current research interests focus on the role of digital technology in supporting environmental science. This includes new forms of environmental monitoring and data acquisition\, including the role of Internet of Things technology\, new forms of computational infrastructure to support the storage and processing of such data\, specifically using cloud computing\, and new forms of analysing and making sense of this data using data science and AI. \nHe is particularly interested in the role of virtual labs in supporting this end-to-end pipeline and in enabling a new kind of science that is more open\, collaborative and integrative. Most recently\, through CEEDS\, he has become interested in the role of digital twins in supporting environmental science. \nThis all builds on a strong legacy of research in distributed systems\, having been involved since the inception of the field in the early 1980s. His core research in this area focused on the middleware architectures that underpin complex distributed systems applications and services\, including examination of key distributed properties such as interoperability and how these can be achieved in the complex and dynamic distributed systems of today. \nOur events are for adults aged 16 years and over. \nBCS is a membership organisation. If you enjoy this event\, please consider joining BCS. You’ll be very welcome. You’ll receive access to many exclusive career development tools\, an introduction to a thriving professional community and also help us Make IT Good For Society. Join BCS today \nFor overseas delegates who wish to attend the event\, please note that BCS does not issue invitation letters. \nCOVID-19 \nBCS is following government guidelines and we would ask attendees to continue to also follow these guidelines.

SUMMARY:Macmillan Coffee Morning
DESCRIPTION:Macmillan’s Coffee Morning is our biggest fundraising event to support people living with cancer\n\nPeople all over the UK host their own Coffee Morning and donations raised on the day are made to Macmillan. \nA Coffee Morning can be whatever you want it to be. It could be at home\, on your driveway\, a hall or online\, whatever suits you best. You can hold a garden get together and throw a barbeque\, or treat your colleagues to some homemade bakes\, or even get together with friends for a takeaway. In 2022\, They raised over £12 million and hope to top that this year. \nWhen is Macmillan’s Coffee Morning?\nThe official date of Macmillan Coffee Morning is Friday 29 September but his doesn’t mean you can’t host at other times of the year! You can host your coffee morning whenever suits you best. \nHow you can get involved\nWhatever your reason to host\, no reason is too big or too small. All you have to do is sign up to host a Coffee Morning and we’ll send you a fundraising kit with top tips to get you started. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy we exist\n\n\n\n\n\nMacmillan Cancer Support is here to do whatever it takes to support people living with cancer.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe changing story of cancer\n\n\n\n\n\nThe number of people being diagnosed with cancer is rising and more people are surviving cancer than ever before\, therefore this means the nature of cancer care itself needs to adapt and evolve to meet the rapidly changing needs of people living with cancer. But current cancer care provision is approaching a crisis point. Existing support services​ are struggling to cope\, yet the number of people living with cancer continues to grow. We need to act now to prevent a crisis in cancer care.​ Here is an overview of what we are doing to make sure their needs are met.
