If you work in built environment journalism or communications, or are new to the industry and looking to grow your network, we’d love you to join our IBP community.

By joining, you become part of a vibrant professional network, with access to industry events, networking opportunities and our newsletter. It’s a space to connect, share perspectives and grow together.

You’ll also help advance IBP’s purpose: championing greater diversity and inclusivity by creating opportunities for those currently under-represented in built environment journalism and communications. Our annual Summer Internship Programme is increasingly recognised as a gateway for the next generation of talent – our community plays a vital role in making it possible.

Being part of the IBP community means you can get involved in initiatives like these, contribute to shaping the future of the industry, and take part in our prestigious annual IBP Awards.

We welcome national, regional, business and technical journalists, podcasters, media relations, PR and communications professionals, students and academics interested in the construction, architecture, housing, placemaking, infrastructure and real estate sectors.
