The theme is ‘Building businesses, building the future’ and the programme is designed to appeal to a broad range of industry professionals, young engineers, manufacturers, specifi ers, and procurers of building services projects. Mitsubishi Electric is headline sponsor of the conference and BESA’s industry Awards event, which is packed with technical and topical content aimed directly at the heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration sectors. The busy one-day event is also supported by GPS Air as bronze sponsor. BESA members and young engineers can attend free of charge,
although delegates are encouraged to make a £10 donation to the Association’s chosen charity Light House Club, which is dedicated to tackling mental health problems in the industry. There will be three distinct strands to the content with one focused on business issues including addressing the key challenges currently facing fi rms in the sector such as tackling the skills gap, ESG reporting, insurance and legal, managing costs and investing for the future, improving collaboration, and complying with the Building Safety Act.
The technical section will be the
largest with sessions dedicated to each of the industry’s key technologies and shaped by BESA’s specialist groups. The over-arching technical theme is delivering safe, healthy, and energy effi cient building services.
There will be individual talks and debates on ventilation and indoor air quality, fi re safety, energy effi ciency and carbon counting, Golden Thread; heat pumps; changes to the F-Gas regulations, overheating and climate change adaption, among others. The third strand is made up of sessions aimed directly at younger engineers and shaped by the
Association’s Future Leaders group. These will include sessions on helping employers make themselves more attractive to younger people considering their fi rst career steps, and advice on mentoring. There will also be opportunities for younger delegates to network with each other and meet senior industry fi gures.
