SDCC and DCC hosted the City Edge International Conference over two mornings on September 29th and 30th. These live events provided a unique opportunity to discuss and learn about best international practice approaches to designing and delivering large scale regeneration projects. Hosted by Newtalk’s Shane Coleman, the online events were open to the public and featured a range of high profile Irish and international speakers from Dublin, London, Amsterdam, Copenhagen and Singapore, all of whom have been involved in significant and successful urban regeneration projects. They shared their experiences of designing and delivering complex regeneration projects and how the lessons they learnt could be applied to the City Edge project.

The City Edge International Conference speakers were involved in design and delivery of the following projects:
- London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games and the associated urban regeneration of this part of East London.
- Heuston South Quarter, a mixed-used regeneration development of a new urban quarter including 350 residential units, and retail, office, hotel and cultural uses, in an important historical and cultural area of Dublin.
- Old Oak and Park Royal Development in London, which is supporting the delivery of 25,000 new homes and 40,000 new jobs around a new High Speed 2 rail station.
- Gardens by the Bay which is a significant new flagship park delivered by the state in Singapore and has become a key destination.
- Royal Docks in London, close to Canary Wharf, where the regeneration of these lands is underway and will support 25,000 new homes and 60,000 new jobs.
- Orestad in Copenhagen with a new population of 15,000 people in a mixed-use urban quarter based around a new metro.
- Nordhavn in Copenhagen where delivery of 40,000 new homes and 40,000 jobs is progressing around new public transport within an existing industrial area of the city.
- Sizeable state and private sector regeneration collaborations at IJburg Eastern Docklands and in Haven-Stad in Amsterdam.
- Adamstown Strategic Development Zone in Dublin, the first plan of its kind in Ireland supporting approximately 9,000 new homes based on the principles of the Liveable City, and that is over halfway delivered.
