In this context, there has never been a greater chance to influence, share, learn and network.

Not only is it at the forefront of political debate and public opinion, it’s also clear that we’re moving towards a new age of innovation and change, with topics such as offsite and modular construction and BIM driving so many conversations. This will be our biggest event to date, and we’re looking forward to bringing the industry together to debate, learn and do business, as well as showcase a diverse range of products and services.”
