Coliving Events

The Class Conference 2026 returns to Amsterdam on 4–5 November, bringing together Europe’s leading voices in student living, higher education, investment, operations, urban development and policy.

Under the theme Powering Europe’s University Cities, the conference will examine how student housing can be positioned as critical infrastructure for Europe’s cities, universities and knowledge economies. Across two days, participants will explore the forces shaping the future of student living, from housing supply and affordability to investment, regulation, public-private collaboration, student wellbeing and urban competitiveness.

The programme will combine market insights, expert discussions, site tours, workshops and curated networking, creating a strategic platform for the organisations working to expand, improve and future-proof student accommodation across Europe. More than a conference, it is a meeting point for the sector to align ideas, build partnerships and advance a shared agenda for Europe’s university cities.

The Association for Rental Living (ARL), founded in 2016, is the UK’s only trade body dedicated exclusively to institutionally backed, professionally managed rental living, including Build to Rent, and will host its Annual Conference in London on 10th November 2026.

The ARL annual conference is the UK’s definitive event for Build to Rent and professional rental living. On 10th November, senior leaders from across the sector - operators, investors, developers, local authorities, policymakers and suppliers - will gather to shape the future of rental housing in Britain.

The only leadership and investment event for urban innovators and investors at the cutting edge of contemporary hospitality, real estate and living.
