Publisher Nathan Inkpen said, “Designday Pro is a brand new initiative for 2015 and is the result of a direct response to feedback from the design and building industry. From the success of our public event, Urbis Designday, we have curated an exclusive event for professionals working in the built environment sector. Expect a day of education, information and inspiration, and a fun new way to network with clients and peers.”
