What else should I bring with me?

Please bring a jumper or sweater along with you – the room is air conditioned and can be on the cool side.

How can I let you know about any special dietary requirements?

Any dietary requirements have been agreed during you onboarding call. We will send you an email ahead of each event that will allow you to stipulate any dietary requirements or changes.

Is free parking available at the events?

Yes, there is ample parking at the hotel. To avoid being charged you will need to register your car at reception or with the propertyCEO Events Team on arrival.

Am I able to bring along a relative, life partner or business partner? 

The only guests that are allowed to attend the workshops are named partners of mentees who were registered at enrolment (subject to the payment of a nominal fee to cover overhead costs). Please inform events@propertyceo.co.uk if you wish to bring your named partner along.

Can I reschedule one of my Academy Days or Developer Club Workshop dates?

We regret that we are unable to reschedule Academy Days or Developers Club Workshop dates as these are allocated based on the month in which you enrol.

Can I continue with my Developers Club membership after my 12-month Mentorship expires?

Yes, we will contact you at the end of your 12-month mentorship to ask if you’d like to continue with your Developers Club membership, and will confirm the pricing.

Do you run any WhatsApp or group chats?

No, propertyCEO does not run or moderate any groups. Students often run group chats amongst themselves so it’s always worth checking with your fellow students.

Is there a social networking event at Academy Days or Developers Club workshops?

There will be an informal social get together in the evening prior to the Developers Club workshop which takes place in the bar of the Crowne Plaza hotel. All Academy Day and Developers Club event attendees are welcome to attend – no booking is necessary!

Am I able to have a 1-1 with Ritchie and or Ian at these events?

Yes Ritchie and Ian are more than happy to have a chat.

On Academy days we offer end of session 1-1s after 4:30pm where you can book yourself a slot. Make sure you book yourself in with the Events Team on the day or prior to the workshop by contacting events@propertyceo.co.uk.

At Developers Club workshops we do not offer end of session 1-1s. However, Ritchie and Ian are always happy to have a private chat and will most likely grab you during a lunch or break. Please inform the Events Team on the day or prior to the workshop by email at events@propertyceo.co.uk.

Can I get discounted accommodation?

If you need to book accommodation, please use this LINK to go to the hotel’s website. If you select the corporate ID option and use the code 787051681 this will sometimes give you a better rate than what you might achieve elsewhere. There are also several hotels in the surrounding area.

I’ve received a parking fine while parked at the hotel for an event, what should I do?

If you have registered your vehicle during the workshop but still receive a parking fine please send your notice document through to events@propertyceo.co.uk and we will rectify this for you.

You will automatically receive emails regarding each workshop you are eligible to attend. If you have any queries please contact events@propertyceo.co.uk
