Attending a Regional event recently, Richard Summers, RTPI Immediate Past President, said "The East of England RTPI runs an exceptionally high quality and low cost programme of day conferences on a wide range of topical planning challenges and opportunities. This is an underused resource which is not supported by planners and other professionals as well as it could to take advantage of opportunities to discuss key issues of policy and practice and to maintain continuing professional development".
