Exploring new avenues for 2017
The annual conference and exhibition will turn the ExCel centre into an “immersive city” packed with the latest innovations for the built environment
show’s 2017 edition. E
The annual conference and exhibition will transform the ExCel London into a “city” with a main street, distinct destinations and special feature attractions. The “boulevard” – aptly named Regeneration Drive – will run through the centre of the exhibition floor to guide visitors through the best examples of innovation and creativity. “We asked our visitors what they want and need from the show,” explained Martin Hurn, brand director at Ecobuild, “and sustainability overwhelmingly came to the top of the agenda. Imagining the exhibition as a city allows us to deliver a unique programme focused on regeneration in a way that is relevant and inclusive to all our exhibitors and visitors.
“Different aspects of construction and the built environment deserve specific focus, and each of Ecobuild 2017’s destinations will have something distinctive and exciting.” Pavilions will be showcased from associations including the Builders Merchants Federation, Passivhaus Trust, NFRC, Concrete Pavilion, TRADA and the STA.
As visitors make their way up Regeneration Drive, they will be introduced to key destinations including The Arena, City Hall, The Campus, The Gateway and The Performance Lab.
