It forges a collective space where innovative ideas are shown, solutions emerge and knowledge sharing is essential, especially when it comes to reaching the goal of net zero emissions.

Additional Value of Attending 

It’s also important to note that each product area has its own excellent mini-programme that keeps the focus on what’s absolutely relevant for trade visitors. Let’s take the Materials area, for example. In addition to the comprehensive overview of modern, sustainable construction materials, visitors can also benefit from excellent sessions. Sessions explore the topics of green materials and go in depth on specific products. The overarching storyline has concerns itself with the ambitious goal of reducing lifetime emissions for buildings by 44 per cent by 2050.

In this zone, you’ll hear from professionals working for MPA Concrete Centre, MPA Precast, Timber Development Association, AECOM, ASBP, iStructE and ACAN. You can expect this diversity and richness of programming in each of the eight zones –further proof that Futurebuild is a benchmark moment for the industry. 

But, of course, the conference is the big selling point when it comes to knowledge sharing. Speakers don’t only deliver information and facts, but lead conversations on sensitive subjects and offer practical advice in regards to how to inspire social change.
