Jointly hosted by Here East, Lendlease, Stratford Cross, London Legacy Development Corporation, Delancey, and Plexal, the early October event featured prominent figures from across the Olympic Park, local leaders, and industry specialists. Together, they celebrated East London’s transformation story and examined how to unlock even greater growth and collaboration going forward.
